"Marvel Rivals Rumored for Nintendo Switch 2 Release"

The idea of Marvel Rivals coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, once thought impossible, is now gaining traction. NetEase had previously dismissed a release for the original Switch due to technical limitations, but the anticipated successor could alter this landscape significantly.

During the DICE Summit, producer Weikang Wu shared that the team is in active discussions with Nintendo. The primary challenge? Ensuring the game runs smoothly 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 showing enthusiasm for the platform. Phil Spencer has hinted at Xbox's interest in bringing its catalog to the system, and Electronic Arts (EA) has also expressed support.

In the meantime, Marvel Rivals is gearing up for more exciting updates, with two members of the Fantastic Four set to join the fray, promising to invigorate the game's dynamics.
