Nintendo Switch 2's first AAA game 'leaks' with mixed reaction from fans
The Nintendo Switch 2 leaks continue, and this time we may have information on one of the big games we'll be playing on the console whenever it does end up launchingTech10:44, 06 Jan 2025Could this be the first AAA Switch 2 port?The Nintendo Switch 2 is one of our most anticipated gaming releases for 2025, and with leaks springing all over the place including the potential for AI upscaling, we're waiting for our first real look at the console.Nintendo is expected to reveal it before the end of March 2025, but in the meantime, one developer's LinkedIn resume may have just revealed the first third-party port coming to the Switch 2 and we've got mixed feelings.It's not that the title included is a bad game, it's more it could set a worrying precedent that we've seen before from Nintendo hardware.YouTuber creator Doctre81 (thanks, VGC), spotted that one developer has worked on Gotham Knights for an "unannounced platform". A 2022 action title from Warner Bros. set in a DC Comics universe where Batman is killed, the game received a middling response from critics but was rated for Nintendo Switch despite never releasing there.That would potentially explain the developer's resume stating they worked on the project for two unannounced platforms Switch, and Switch 2.While this writer quite enjoyed his time with Gotham Knights (and it plays well on Steam Deck, suggesting it's possible to run it on a handheld), the bigger disappointment is that the new system is potentially leaning on a 2022 title.The Wii U received a port of Batman: Arkham City dubbed the 'Armored Edition', and while the game was still great, it was a port of a game owners of other consoles had played a year prior. Here's hoping that, as fun as Gotham Knights can be, the Switch 2 has some additional third-party hits to call on.Article continues belowLeaks are coming regularly now for Switch 2, with a render circulating earlier this week that hints at what the console could look like. Nintendo will announce the console in the current financial year, with some reports suggesting it'll unveil it this month.For more on handheld consoles, be sure to check out why your next system should be a Steam Deck OLED.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.RECOMMENDED
