Nintendo Switch 2 third party launch games revealed by retail listings
Share:
Bandai Namco, EA and Bethesda are among the publishers who have games planned for Nintendo’s next console, according to a new leak. There’s been much speculation around the games Nintendo has planned for its follow-up to the Switch, but the system’s success might hinge just as much on its third party support.

The Switch’s launch line-up was very limited, beyond Zelda: Breath Of The Wild, with Ubisoft’s Just Dance 2017, Skylanders: Imaginators from Activision, and Konami’s Super Bomberman R being the key third party titles. If game publishers were hesitant to support the original Switch, following the failure of the Wii U, the Switch 2 looks to be a very different story – especially given a new leak which appears to list several companies that have games planned for the system.
The leak stems from French retailer Fnac, which has several pre-made product pages listed on its website. After online sleuths discovered pages alluding to a new Nintendo console and various bundles, other pages have been found that are related to third party publishers.
As listed on Reddit, there are pre-made listings referring to publishers EA, Square Enix, Bandai Namco, Bethesda, Take-Two, and Warner Bros. There are multiple listings for each publisher too, which suggests either various editions of one game or multiple titles from the same publisher.
No games are mentioned by name so, as you would expect, this has prompted a guessing game in online circles. One X user, Bouboune0, has narrowed down what certain titles could be, based on similarities in the EAN barcode numbers, suggesting Tekken 8, ‘FIFA’ (they presumably mean EA Sports FC), and Red Dead Redemption 1 or 2 (the sequel has already been rumoured as coming to Switch 2).
