Marvel Rivals’ Switch 2 Version Announced

With the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, many major titles have begun to adapt to this new device. However, an official Switch 2 version has still not been announced for Marvel Rivals. The game’s director, Guangyun Chen, shared an important detail on this subject and explained why the development process has not started.

Marvel Rivals Switch 2 Version Development Kit Awaited

Guangyun Chen clarified the speculations about the Switch 2 version of Marvel Rivals in an interview with Video Gamer. Chen said, “We are in the process of obtaining the development machine for NS2.” In other words, NetEase has not yet received the necessary development kit for Switch 2 from Nintendo. Without this kit, it is technically not possible to adapt the game to Switch 2.

Chen stated that they will conduct a comprehensive evaluation after receiving the kit as a development team and will only be able to make an official statement after this process. It was previously announced that the game was tested for Switch 1, but was not released on this platform due to insufficient performance.

Marvel Rivals has gained a strong player base since its release. However, the fact that development has not yet started for the next-generation Switch indicates that Nintendo is cautious towards some studios. So far, many companies are still waiting for a development kit, and this raises questions about third-party support for Switch 2.

NetEase will test the technical feasibility of the game on Switch 2 after receiving the development kit. If positive results are obtained, an official announcement can be expected for the Switch 2 version of Marvel Rivals. However, there is no clear date or decision on this issue for now.
