Gotham Knights Could Be Heading to Nintendo Switch 2: Developer Records Point to Dual Console Release As anticipation grows for the next chapter in Nintendo's hardware legacy, new evidence has surfaced indicating that Gotham Knights, the 2022 action-adventure game from Warner Bros.

Interactive, may be preparing for a release on the much-rumored Nintendo Switch 2.

Initially launched for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, Gotham Knights marked a bold cooperative adventure in the DC Universe, allowing players to take the roles of Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Robin in a post-Batman Gotham City. Solid clues supporting a possible Switch 2 port of Gotham Knights come from the LinkedIn profile of Łukasz Łoziński, a former Senior Programmer at QLOC, a studio known for its technical expertise in game optimization and porting.

Łoziński’s experience includes working on CPU and gameplay optimization for the PS5 edition of Gotham Knights using Unreal Engine 4, and, crucially, he also notes having led Vulkan rendering and optimization efforts for two additional, as-yet unreleased platforms.

While these platforms remain officially unnamed, the listing suggests that Warner Bros.

Interactive is actively developing or preparing the title for new hardware. Adding weight to these findings, an ESRB rating for Gotham Knights appeared for the Nintendo Switch platform in September 2023.

Although Warner Bros.

Interactive has not formally announced a Switch edition, this regulatory listing is a concrete milestone in the console porting process, typically preceding formal launch announcements and press releases.

To date, the Nintendo Switch version has not been released, but industry analysts speculate that any work begun for the current hybrid system could logically extend to the upcoming Switch 2, especially as development teams strive to maximize platform reach. At launch, Gotham Knights bypassed the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, opting instead to focus on the technical advancements of the latest hardware, though its initial release experienced performance issues that were subsequently addressed through patches.

If the Nintendo Switch 2, rumored to match the processing power of earlier PlayStation systems, is to receive Gotham Knights at or near launch, it would represent a significant achievement for both Warner Bros.

Interactive and the broader Nintendo ecosystem—showcasing the expanded capabilities of the next-generation hybrid console. With industry rumors and hardware leaks fueling discussions among fans and analysts alike, an official Nintendo Switch 2 reveal is highly anticipated within the current fiscal year, ending March 2025.

As these developments unfold, the potential for acclaimed third-party titles like Gotham Knights to reach Nintendo’s next system is poised to draw significant attention from core gamers eager for more robust, multiplatform experiences on Nintendo’s hardware. Stay tuned for official statements from Warner Bros.

Interactive and Nintendo, and follow developments on the Nintendo eShop and industry events such as Nintendo Direct for further updates on Gotham Knights for Nintendo Switch 2.
