This news, if true, would be a delightful twist for fans who were initially bummed about these titles skipping the current Switch.
Nintendo Switch 2: The Perfect Fit
Nintendo’s hybrid console, renowned for its blend of home and portable play, seems like the perfect match for the turn-based combat and immersive storylines of both Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor: ReFantazio. Imagine battling Shadows while riding the bus, or strategizing Persona fusions during a cozy coffee break!
Initial Disappointment: Switch Exclusion
However, the initial announcements for these games didn’t include the Switch, leaving some fans heartbroken. The Switch’s portability and flexibility seemed tailor-made for these RPGs, making the exclusion feel like a missed opportunity.
Midori’s Cryptic Tweet: A Glimpse of Hope
Hope rekindled when Midori, a trusted insider at Atlus, took to Twitter with a cryptic message, suggesting that both Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor: ReFantazio might find their way onto the Switch 2 after all. This revelation, despite not being an official confirmation, sparked a flurry of excitement among fans.
Director’s Hint: Persona 3 Reload’s Early Decision
Adding fuel to the fire, Persona 3 Reload’s game director, Takuya Yamaguchi, hinted in an interview that the decision to skip the Switch was made early on in development. This, coupled with Midori’s tweet, led to speculation that the game might have been eyeing the next generation console all along.
Switch 2 Release Speculations
Rumors whisper that the Nintendo Switch 2 could arrive sometime in late winter or early spring of 2024, potentially placing it right on track for a Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor: ReFantazio debut. Of course, these are still speculations, but the possibility is tantalizing.

If these dreams become reality, Metaphor: ReFantazio, with its uncertain fall 2024 release date, could even launch as a day-one title for the Switch 2. Persona 3 Reload, on the other hand, will be out much sooner, gracing store shelves on February 2nd, 2024.
Beyond the Horizon: Exciting Titles Await
The potential doesn’t stop there. Whispers abound about other exciting titles coming to the Switch 2, including Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, a social simulation game by Level-5. The recent confirmation of a fixed release date for this long-awaited title, shrouded in strategic secrecy, adds to the growing hype surrounding the Switch 2’s game library.
