Gotham Knights Might be One of Nintendo Switch 2’s Third-Party Titles

A game developer's resume hints at a potential surprise: Gotham Knights may be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. Let's delve into the details.

Gotham Knights: Nintendo Switch 2 Bound?

A Resume Reveals a Clue

On January 5th, 2025, YouTuber Doctre81 sparked speculation that Gotham Knights could be headed to the Nintendo Switch 2. The source? A game developer's resume, showcasing past work on Gotham Knights for two unannounced platforms.

This developer, employed by QLOC from 2018 to 2023, listed various titles including Mortal Kombat 11 and Tales of Vesperia. The intriguing detail: Gotham Knights' inclusion, specifically mentioning development for two yet-to-be-released consoles.

Important Note: No official confirmation exists from Warner Bros. Games or Nintendo. Treat this as speculation, but the Nintendo Switch 2 is currently the only major unreleased console generating significant buzz.

Past ESRB Rating and Subsequent Removal

Initially released in October 2022 for PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X, Gotham Knights received an ESRB rating for the original Nintendo Switch, fueling speculation of a release. Some anticipated a Nintendo Direct announcement.

However, the game never materialized for the original Switch, and the ESRB rating was later removed. This past rating, coupled with the recent YouTube report, rekindles the possibility of a Switch 2 release.

Nintendo Switch 2: Backward Compatibility and Official Announcements

Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa announced on May 7th, 2024, via Twitter, that further details on the Switch's successor would be revealed "within this fiscal year," ending in March 2025. The official unveiling is imminent.

A subsequent tweet confirmed the Switch 2's backward compatibility with the original Switch, supporting "Nintendo Switch software" and "Nintendo Switch Online." The use of physical cartridges remains unconfirmed.
