In a new interview with IGN, Marvel Rivals producer Weicong Wu has confirmed that the developer is ‘open’ to releasing the game on the Nintendo Switch 2.
The Marvel heroes based shooter has been a smash hit with players since its launch back in December, amassing 20 million players within two weeks of its release. The popular shooter has already been released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, but the game had yet to come to Switch, with game director Thaddeus Sasse previously stating that the game would not be coming to Switch.
Internet outlet IGN spoke to producer Weicong Wu, at the DICE Summit in Las Vegas where Wu said “We’re already in contact with Nintendo and working on some development kits. And whenever we find that we could provide great performance for our game on Switch 2, we’re open to that. The reason why we didn’t launch it onto the Switch, it was the first generation of that device; they cannot provide a great experience for our gameplay. So if it could achieve that goal, we’re open to that.”
The Nintendo Switch 2 was officially announced last month. The console is set for a 2025 release but no exact release date has been confirmed at this time.
