Once considered a far-fetched dream, the possibility of Marvel Rivals making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 is now gaining traction. While NetEase had previously ruled out a release for the original Switch due to technical limitations, the upcoming successor might just change the narrative—quite literally.
During the DICE Summit, producer Weikang Wu shared that active discussions with Nintendo are underway. The primary challenge? Ensuring that the game runs smoothly and consistently on the new hardware:
"The first-generation Switch simply didn’t have the power to deliver the gameplay experience we envisioned. But if the Switch 2 can handle it, we’re absolutely ready to bring the game to the platform."

With the Nintendo Switch 2 officially announced, major players in the industry are lining up to support the platform. Xbox's Phil Spencer has hinted at the company's interest in bringing its catalog to the system, while Electronic Arts (EA) has also expressed its enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, Marvel Rivals is gearing up for further expansion, with two members of the Fantastic Four set to make a splash on the battlefield in future updates.
