Microsoft recently showed off a bunch of gameplay for the rather awesome-looking Doom: The Dark Ages. After that showcase, I hoped the game would come to Switch 2. Luckily, a new rumor suggests that it will.
The game releases May 15th, 2025 for PC, Playstation, and Xbox consoles. And according to industry leaker extras1s, Doom: The Dark Ages is also scheduled for release on Switch 2.
The game, which is in full development for the next-gen machine, is being deliberately held back. Nintendo has not given the green light to all of its partners to submit their titles, especially those that would be exclusive to the Switch 2.
Why this extreme secrecy? Because it seems that any game exclusive to the Switch 2 needs special permission from Nintendo before being announced. This would be a strategy to control the hype and avoid leaks until the company decides to reveal more official technical information about its new console.
extras1 has a pretty good track record when it comes to Microsoft. He also previously stated that Halo and Starfield would be coming to the Switch 2, but that remains to be confirmed.
We’ll maybe find out on April 2nd, 2025 when Nintendo holds a Nintendo Direct focused on the Switch 2 console and its games.
