As anticipation for Nintendo’s next-generation console—commonly referred to as the Nintendo Switch 2—continues to build, the gaming community is abuzz with speculation about which major third-party franchises might debut on the new hardware.
FromSoftware, the acclaimed Japanese developer known for its challenging action RPGs, remains a focal point of discussion.
With flagship titles like Dark Souls Trilogy and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice achieving substantial global acclaim, both fans and analysts are closely watching for news on potential Nintendo Switch 2 ports. The Nintendo Switch platform has already demonstrated its appetite for third-party hits, successfully hosting a port of Dark Souls: Remastered in 2018.
This milestone allowed Nintendo users to experience the demanding gameplay and intricate world-building for which FromSoftware is renowned.
However, the remainder of the Dark Souls Trilogy—comprising Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin and Dark Souls III—has, as of this writing, remained unavailable on Nintendo hardware.
The success of the initial port and ongoing strong demand from Switch players have fuelled hopes that the complete trilogy might see a future release on Switch 2, especially given the enhanced processing power anticipated from the upcoming console. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, another genre-defining title from FromSoftware, launched in 2019 to critical and commercial success.
It received widespread acclaim for its innovative combat system and unique Sengoku-period setting, ultimately winning Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2019.
Although Sekiro has yet to launch on any Nintendo platform, the persistent enthusiasm from the community has not gone unnoticed.
In statements made to gaming media, figures close to the development process have frequently acknowledged the desire among fans for expanded access to FromSoftware’s catalogue.
While official announcements remain forthcoming, the prospects grow as Nintendo bolsters third-party partnerships and cultivates a robust lineup for the Switch 2. The trend toward remasters and expanded releases on new hardware also extends to other titles.
Nightreign, an upcoming project, has generated considerable attention, particularly with the multiplayer-focused group known as The Duskbloods advocating for a broader release.
Although current timelines and specific platform details remain undisclosed, reputable sources in the industry indicate that post-launch ports often depend on the performance of initial editions, such as the planned Tarnished Edition.
Should this strategy prove successful, future expansions to platforms like the Nintendo Switch 2 could follow established porting windows from similar FromSoftware projects. While certain FromSoftware exclusives, such as Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne, are expected to remain tied to PlayStation consoles, the gradual widening of the company’s release footprint speaks to a larger trend of increasing multiplatform support.
With the gaming world keeping a close eye on Nintendo Direct presentations and official announcements, the possibility of classic and contemporary FromSoftware experiences ultimately arriving on the Nintendo Switch 2 continues to be a key point of industry interest.
For now, fans await any word from Nintendo or FromSoftware confirming which acclaimed titles will join the next generation of portable gaming on the Nintendo Switch 2.
