STAR WARS JEDI: SURVIVOR Reportedly Heading to Nintendo Switch 2

A possible new addition to the Nintendo Switch 2’s lineup has surfaced, and it’s a game that Star Wars fans have enjoyed. According to a recent report, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is in development for Nintendo’s next-gen console.

The leak comes from Daniel Camilo, a GamesIndustry writer and publishing consultant. While Camilo didn’t confirm whether the game will be a launch title or arrive later, the report suggests the Respawn Entertainment hit is making its way to Nintendo’s new hardware.

Released in 2023 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor skipped the current Nintendo Switch. However, it did eventually come to PS4 and Xbox One, hinting at the possibility of broader platform compatibility.

This rumor coincides with reports that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be officially announced on January 16. The timing of this leak seems to an expanding library of major third-party titles for the console.

While Camilo is a credible figure in the gaming industry, there’s no history of breaking news like this. So, while this isn’t the wild speculation of internet forums, the information lacks a proven track record. Neither Nintendo nor EA has commented on the matter, so for now, the report remains unconfirmed.

For those unfamiliar, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the sequel to 2019’s critically acclaimed Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.

The game follows the story of Cal Kestis as he navigates the galaxy after the fall of the Jedi Order. It received strong reviews at launch, earning an 85 on Metacritic, and its success has reportedly set the stage for a third installment in the series.

If the Switch 2 announcement reveals Star Wars Jedi: Survivor as part of its lineup, it could signal Nintendo’s intent to attract more graphically intensive third-party games to its consol.
