Marvel Rivals is officially headed to the Nintendo Switch 2, according to the developers. In an interview with IGN at the Game Developers Conference, Danny Koo, the executive producer, shared that a version for the new console is in the works. “We’re working on it, but we’ll announce it when we have news,” he stated.
This news isn’t entirely new; the discussion about a Switch version has been ongoing. Last year, producer Weicong Wu mentioned that they were in talks with Nintendo and developing kits. Game director Guangyun Chen reiterated in July that a Switch 2 version was under consideration, though they hadn’t yet received a dev kit. Koo’s recent confirmation suggests that they finally have the necessary tools.
However, for those hoping to see Marvel Rivals on mobile, it’s unlikely. Koo indicated that if they decide to create a mobile version, it will be a completely different game, citing differences in controls and feedback.
This confirmation is exciting for Nintendo fans. Marvel Rivals has received positive reviews, including an 8/10 at launch. Players appreciate its balance of accessibility and a challenging skill ceiling. The game has recently introduced new content with Season 7, featuring White Fox among its characters.
In the gaming landscape, the demand for cross-platform experiences is increasing. A recent report showed that over 60% of gamers seek titles available on multiple devices. This trend will likely influence future game developments across various platforms, including mobile.
The Marvel Rivals team is also focused on expanding their character lineup and planning events. These efforts indicate a commitment to keeping players engaged long-term.
While there isn’t a release date yet for the Switch 2 version, the confirmation is a step in the right direction for fans eager to play Marvel Rivals.
