Gotham Knights: A Potential Nintendo Switch 2 Title?

Recent speculation suggests that Gotham Knights may be among the third-party titles launching on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. This intriguing possibility stems from a game developer's resume.

A January 5, 2025 report by YouTuber Doctre81 highlighted a resume listing Gotham Knights as a project developed for two unreleased platforms. The developer, employed by QLOC from 2018 to 2023, also listed projects like Mortal Kombat 11 and Tales of Vesperia. The inclusion of Gotham Knights for unreleased platforms has sparked considerable interest.

While one platform could potentially be the original Nintendo Switch (due to a previously listed, now-removed ESRB rating), performance concerns on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S might have hindered a port. The second unreleased platform strongly hints at the Nintendo Switch 2.

It's crucial to remember that this is based on unconfirmed information. Neither Warner Bros. Games nor Nintendo have made official announcements.

Past Nintendo Switch Speculation and ESRB Rating Removal

Initially released in October 2022 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X, Gotham Knights was briefly rumored for the original Nintendo Switch following an ESRB rating. This fueled speculation of a Nintendo Direct reveal, but the game never materialized, and the ESRB rating was subsequently removed. This past speculation, coupled with the recent YouTube report, reignites the possibility of a Switch 2 release.

Nintendo Switch 2: Backwards Compatibility and Official Announcements

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa's May 7, 2024 Twitter post promised further information on the Switch's successor "within this fiscal year," ending in March 2025. A subsequent post confirmed backwards compatibility with original Switch software and Nintendo Switch Online services. However, details regarding physical cartridge support remain undisclosed. Further details on the Switch 2's backward compatibility can be found in a related article.

The possibility of Gotham Knights on the Nintendo Switch 2 remains exciting but unconfirmed. Official announcements from Nintendo or Warner Bros. Games are still awaited.
