Black Myth: Wukong reportedly coming to Switch 2, according to insider

Like with many Nintendo consoles before it, the Switch 2 has slowly but surely been getting a back-catalogue of previously-released 3rd party titles. As with previous consoles, some of these ports have run into issues due to the power disparity between the Switch 2 and other current-gen consoles. Despite this, it seems as though the technically demanding Black Myth: Wukong is planned to arrive on Switch 2 at some point, according to one insider.

Ahead of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 partner showcase, known leaker NateDrake offered some insider details on what could be shown off during the presentation.

Though not necessarily confirmed for the showcase, Nate claimed that Game Science’s 2024 breakout hit Black Myth: Wukong is in development for the Switch 2.

Of course, Black Myth: Wukong was a huge success upon its initial release, selling over 25 million copies, and so it makes sense to bring the popular title over the Switch 2.

That said, the game struggled from various performance issues on other current-gen consoles (though some of this was improved with updates) and so it will be highly interesting to see what compromises will need to be made in order to get the Unreal Engine 5 showpiece to run smoothly on Nintendo’s handheld hybrid. Assuming it will be announced at the Nintendo Direct, then we won’t have to wait long to find out.
