Recently, in a new interview with IGN, Marvel Games executive producer Danny Koo confirmed that a Nintendo Switch 2 version of Marvel Rivals is in development. The announcement comes just over a year after the game initially released in December 2024. When asked about the Switch 2 version, Koo stated that “We’re working on it, but when we have news, we’ll announce that one.” When asked once again, he reconfirmed that “We will do it.” Only time will tell when exactly the port will release.
Lastly, Marvel Rivals is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Devil Dinosaur will release alongside season 8 on May 15. Cyclops will be available at some point in June.
