Metaphor ReFantazio Rumored for Switch 2 This Year

Nintendo Switch 2 might get its first major third-party port of the year if recent leaks hold true. Industry insider Nick Baker, known for his reliable scoops, claims that Metaphor ReFantazio, Atlus’s award-winning RPG and one of 2024’s top games, is set to launch on the console sometime this year.

With Switch 2’s early lineup dominated by Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, Nintendo could use a high-profile port to bolster its offerings ahead of anticipated releases like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Neither Nintendo nor Atlus have commented on Baker’s report, leaving fans to await further confirmation on the release window and port specifics.

Seeking a word for “stubborn” or “foolish,” Miyamoto consulted a thesaurus—finding “donkey”—and paired it with “Kong” as an homage to King Kong.
