In a recent interview between IGN and Marvel Rivals producer, Weicong Wu, stated that they are open to releasing the game on Nintendo Switch 2. This comes after previous remarks that they will not release it on Nintendo Switch.
Specifically, Wu states the following: “We’re already in contact with Nintendo and working on some development kits. And whenever we find that we could provide great performance for our game on Switch 2, we’re open to that. The reason why we didn’t launch it onto the Switch, it was the first generation of that device they cannot provide a great experience for our gameplay. So if it could achieve that goal, we’re open to that.”
