According to video game insider Nate the Hate, Atlus is planning to bring over its acclaimed role-playing game Metaphor: ReFantazio to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. Metaphor, which is quite similar to Atlus’ Persona series, launched in 2024 and was met with widespread acclaim from critics, resulting in it receiving a 94/100 aggregate score on Metacritic. This led to the game being nominated for a variety of Game of the Year awards, some of which it would even end up winning. While Metaphor has currently only been available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, this Switch 2 release would bring it to Nintendo platforms for the first time.
To hear that Atlus is planning to bring Metaphor: ReFantazio to Nintendo Switch 2 shouldn’t be much of a surprise given previous moves from the company. In late 2025, Atlus brought Persona 3 Reload to Switch 2 after it had previously released elsewhere the year prior. Sega, the parent company of Atlus, has also been supporting the Switch 2 heavily since its launch and has already ported titles like Yakuza 0, Sonic x Shadow Generations, and Puyo Puyo Tetris to the console. For Metaphor to be next on tap to receive this same treatment would just be logical.
