Nintendo Switch 2 Is Finally Getting One of 2024’s Best Games

One of the best games of 2024 will finally be coming to Nintendo Switch 2 later this year. Prior to the launch of the Switch 2 in 2025, many third-party games didn’t release on the original Switch due to the hardware’s limited power. With the Switch 2 having more technical prowess, though, a variety of third-party publishers have slowly been bringing over some of their older titles to the console so that Nintendo fans can experience them for the first time. Now, this has resulted in one major RPG getting a Switch 2 release of its own to coincide with the second anniversary of its arrival.

This week, Atlus announced that Metaphor: ReFantazio will be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. Originally released in October 2024, Metaphor quickly became one of the highest-rated games of the year. Created by the team behind the popular Persona series, it received a score of 94/100 on Metacritic, tying it with Astro Bot and Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree as the best-reviewed games of 2024. The game’s critical success led to numerous Game of the Year awards, solidifying its place as one of the most celebrated RPGs in recent years.

Atlus has announced that Metaphor: ReFantazio will be released on Nintendo Switch 2 on November 12th. The Switch 2 version will have the same content as the versions currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. While the price hasn’t been announced yet, Atlus confirmed a limited-edition steelbook version will be available when the game launches.

Moving forward, questions will surely arise when it comes to the launch of upcoming Atlus games in Persona 4 Revival and Persona 6 on Nintendo Switch 2. Currently, Atlus hasn’t confirmed that either game will come to the Nintendo console, but given the developer’s history of bringing its titles to Switch 2 at a later date after they launch elsewhere, there’s plenty of reason to believe that the company will continue to support Switch 2 in a big way in the future.
