Gotham Knights: Potential Launch on Nintendo Switch 2

A game developer's resume suggests Gotham Knights may be headed to the Nintendo Switch 2. Let's dive into the details!

A Resume Reveals a Potential Port

On January 5th, 2025, YouTuber Doctre81 reported that Gotham Knights could be a third-party title for the Nintendo Switch 2. This claim stems from a developer's resume, listing work on Gotham Knights for two currently unreleased platforms. The developer, formerly with QLOC (2018-2023), also cited projects like Mortal Kombat 11 and Tales of Vesperia. The inclusion of Gotham Knights for two unannounced platforms is intriguing.

One platform could be the original Nintendo Switch, given a previous ESRB rating. However, performance issues on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S might have hindered a Switch port. The listing of a second unreleased platform strongly suggests the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.

Remember, this is unconfirmed. Neither Warner Bros. Games nor Nintendo have made any official announcements.

A Past ESRB Rating and its Disappearance

Released in October 2022 for PS5, Windows, and Xbox Series X, Gotham Knights received an ESRB rating for the original Nintendo Switch, sparking speculation and hopes for a release. Some even predicted its reveal during a Nintendo Direct. However, this rating was later removed from the ESRB website, and the game never materialized on the original Switch. The past rating, coupled with this recent YouTube report, rekindles the possibility of a Switch 2 release.
