Once considered an impossibility, the idea of Marvel Rivals coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 now seems much more within reach. While NetEase had previously dismissed a release for the original Switch due to technical limitations, the upcoming successor might just be the game-changer we've been waiting for.
At the DICE Summit, producer Weikang Wu shared that discussions with Nintendo are actively underway. The primary challenge? Ensuring 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 gaming industry are lining up to support the platform. Xbox's Phil Spencer has hinted at bringing their catalog to the system, and Electronic Arts (EA) has also expressed enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, Marvel Rivals is gearing up for further expansion, with two members of the Fantastic Four set to join the fray in future updates.
