Rumours have been circulating about the potential release of the Nintendo Switch 2 console, and what games could potentially come along with it. One of the more reliable sources of rumours, I'm a Hero Too, recently suggested that Square Enix has managed to get the Final Fantasy 7 Remake to run on the Switch 2, and that it could be a launch title for the console.
I'm a Hero Too is said to be based in Japan and have contacts at a number of different studios. They claim that the new console is backwards compatible, with a new cartridge, and a new camera feature. This detail has been appearing in a number of Switch 2 rumours lately and is speculated to have something to do with a new AR push.
In terms of other Square Enix rumours, they suggest that the rumoured Final Fantasy 9 remake will now miss its planned summer 2024 release date. Plans for a Final Fantasy 10 remake or Final Fantasy 10-3 only have a ‘skeleton crew’ working on it, and it won't be ready for the game’s 25th birthday in 2026. They also claim that Square Enix has new PlayStation 5 devkits, speculated to be the new Pro model, and that the next Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer will focus on Rikus.
In addition, I'm a Hero Too have predicted that there will be a State of Play showcase in September, focusing on Asian developers. They have also mentioned the possibility of a new PlayStation exclusive Marvel game, a remaster of Bloodborne by Nixxies for 2025, and one of Horizon Zero Dawn. They suggest that God Of War developer Santa Monica Studio is working on a new sci-fi IP, while Naughty Dog’s next project is also a new IP.
Finally, for Sega, they claim a new Sonic The Hedgehog game is coming next year, as well as Jet Set Radio, Comix Zone, and a new Guardian Heroes. It's not clear if these are remakes or sequels, and it's unknown who's developing them.
It's impossible to know how accurate these predictions are until more official announcements are made. However, if just one difficult-to-guess detail proves correct - such as the trailer for Kingdom Hearts 4 - then it makes all the other rumours much more believable. We'll just have to wait and see what the future holds for the Nintendo Switch 2.
