3D Platformer Suggests Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Release

There’s buzz that Ruffy and the Riverside, a highly anticipated 3D platformer, might make its way to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. With the Switch 2 reportedly on the horizon for a June release, fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming months.

Nintendo has set a date for the next big reveal: mark your calendars for Wednesday, April 2, at 8:00am CT. Nintendo will host a special Switch 2 Direct presentation, which promises to shed light on crucial details like the pricing, launch date, pre-order specifics, and the exciting games lineup. It’s an event fans won’t want to miss.

While Nintendo has kept a tight lid on the full games lineup for the Switch 2, a few developers have already started teasing their titles for the new console. One such game is Ruffy and the Riverside, which recently announced a release date of June 26. In a statement picked up by Go Nintendo, the game is set to land on “Nintendo Switch(es),” implying that both the original Switch and the new Switch 2 might be in for a treat.

If we take this information at face value, it hints that the Switch 2 could launch by June 26. However, fans are advised to wait for the official word from Nintendo before setting their expectations in stone. Plans can change, and while many are hopeful for a mid-year launch, it’s possible that the release could be pushed later.

Amidst this anticipation, Ruffy and the Riverside is not limited to Nintendo platforms. It’s also gearing up for release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S on the same date, June 26. Enthusiasts of 3D platformers will certainly want to grab a spot in their gaming schedules for this title.

Stay tuned, as the big announcements from Nintendo are just around the corner. The upcoming Direct presentation will hopefully provide answers to the lingering questions and wrap up the suspense surrounding the Switch 2’s debut.
