Marvel Rivals Rumored for Nintendo Switch 2 Release

Once considered an impossibility, the idea of Marvel Rivals coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 now seems increasingly likely. NetEase had previously dismissed the possibility for the original Switch due to technical limitations, but the upcoming successor might just change the game—literally.

During the DICE Summit, producer Weikang Wu shared that discussions with Nintendo are actively underway. The primary challenge? Ensuring the game runs smoothly and consistently 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."

With the Nintendo Switch 2 officially announced, industry giants are showing their support. Phil Spencer has hinted at Xbox’s interest in bringing its catalog to the new system, and Electronic Arts (EA) has also expressed its enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, Marvel Rivals is set for further expansion, with two members of the Fantastic Four expected to join the fray in upcoming updates, promising to shake up the battlefield.
