Based on a game developer's resume, Gotham Knights may be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. This intriguing possibility, highlighted by YouTuber Doctre81 on January 5th, 2025, stems from a resume listing Gotham Knights as developed for two unreleased platforms.
One platform is potentially the original Nintendo Switch, given a previous ESRB rating (since removed). However, performance issues on other consoles cast doubt on this. The second unreleased platform strongly suggests the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
This speculation gains further weight from the game's 2023 ESRB rating for the original Switch, fueling anticipation of a potential reveal during a Nintendo Direct. While no official announcements exist from Warner Bros. Games or Nintendo, the Switch 2 remains the most likely candidate for this "unreleased platform."
The original October 2022 release of Gotham Knights for PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X, coupled with the now-removed ESRB rating, adds to the intrigue. The absence of a Switch release at that time doesn't negate the possibility of a Switch 2 port.
Nintendo's President, Shuntaro Furukawa, hinted at a Switch successor announcement before the end of their fiscal year (March 2025) in a May 7th, 2024 Twitter post. A subsequent post confirmed backward compatibility with the original Switch, including software and Nintendo Switch Online. The use of physical cartridges remains unconfirmed.
Remember, this information is based on speculation. While compelling, confirmation awaits official announcements from Nintendo and Warner Bros. Games.
