In a new conversation with IGN, Marvel Games producer Danny Koo confirmed that Marvel Rivals is in the works for Switch 2. Koo didn’t say much about this edition of the game, but instead merely verified that it’s in development right now. Further details on its launch will come about at a later date, but this mere confirmation is a pretty big deal and gives Switch 2 owners another major game on the horizon to look forward to.
Since its launch in 2024, Marvel Rivals has become hugely successful. While originally seen as an Overwatch clone with characters from Marvel, Rivals has instead surpassed the game it was so clearly inspired by in the eyes of many of its players. Recently, Season 7 of Marvel Rivals kicked off and added the new character White Fox as a playable character. Black Cat will then be joining the game’s extensive roster later in Season 7 as well.
It Was Only a Matter of Time for This Game to Come to Switch 2
While it’s great to hear that Marvel Rivals is bound for Nintendo Switch 2, this announcement isn’t necessarily a shock. Given that Rivals is capable of running on PS4 hardware, it was never in question that the game would be able to perform on Switch 2. Developer NetEase Games has also teased for quite some time that it would be open to bringing Marvel Rivals to Switch 2, although it had never confirmed anything outright.
