Once considered an impossibility, the idea of Marvel Rivals making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2 now seems increasingly feasible. NetEase had previously dismissed a release for the original Switch due to technical limitations, but the upcoming successor might just change the game—literally.

During the DICE Summit, producer Weikang Wu shared that discussions with Nintendo are actively ongoing. The primary challenge remains ensuring smooth and consistent performance 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 official announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2, industry giants are already showing their support 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 enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, Marvel Rivals is gearing up for further expansion, with two members of the Fantastic Four set to join the fray in upcoming updates.
