Marvel Rivals May Be Headed to Nintendo Switch 2

Once considered impossible, a Nintendo Switch 2 release for Marvel Rivals now seems increasingly likely. NetEase previously dismissed a release on the original Switch due to technical limitations. However, the upcoming console could change everything.

At the DICE Summit, producer Weikang Wu revealed ongoing discussions with Nintendo. The key challenge remains ensuring optimal performance on the new hardware:

"The first-generation Switch simply didn’t have the power to deliver the gameplay experience we envisioned. But if the Switch 2 can handle it, we’re absolutely ready to bring the game to the platform."

The officially announced Nintendo Switch 2 has already garnered significant industry support. Phil Spencer indicated Xbox's interest in bringing its games to the platform, and Electronic Arts (EA) has also expressed its enthusiasm.

Marvel Rivals itself is set for further expansion, with the addition of two Fantastic Four members anticipated in future updates.
