All Big Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games Releasing In 2025 & Beyond

Debuting in June 2025, the Nintendo Switch 2 is slowly but surely building up its library, a process that has barely started but is already quite exciting. At this point, the Switch 2 games calendar is not overly stuffed with releases, with most weeks including only a couple of newcomers; however, new titles are announced quite frequently, and there should always be something on the horizon that could tempt you to take out your wallet.

The gaming industry never sleeps, so keeping track of every upcoming Switch 2 game can be exhausting. Consequently, we’ve put together a breakdown of all the projects slated to launch on the console, and we are referring exclusively to native releases and not backward-compatible Switch titles. What are some of the next 2025 Switch 2 games? Which title will define 2026?

Updated on November 22, 2025, by Mark Sammut: As the year gradually approaches its end, Nintendo is ramping up the announcement for early 2026. However, 2025 still has some big upcoming Switch 2 games. The following games were added to the calendar or received release dates: Dynasty Warriors: Origins – Visions of Four Heroes, Bandit Trap, ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard, Death Match Love Comedy!, Shuten Order, RippleIsland Kyle and Cal’s Restaurant, Red Dead Redemption And Undead Nightmare, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Storm Lancers, A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism, PGA TOUR 2K25, Rushing Beat X: Return of Brawl Brothers.

Big Nintendo Switch 2 Games Releasing In November 2025

Hyrule Warriors, Kirby, Dragon Ball, Yakuza, & More

November 2025’s Switch 2 games lineup is pretty awesome, with a mix of ports and new games. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero and Yakuza Kiwami have been out for a while (or a long time in the latter’s case), but they are still big deals.

Kirby Air Riders is one of the Switch 2’s most highly anticipated exclusives; however, it no longer has to carry November on its own, as Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment has started the month on a huge note. The Musou game is, more or less, the same quality as its two predecessors, and it should be a fun time for anybody craving this type of experience. Alternatively, One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 will also be debuting on the Switch 2, which is a bit surprising. Although not as big a release, SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide should be a solid 3D platformer.

• November 6: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
• November 7: Anima Gate of Memories: I & II Remastered
• November 11: Goodnight Universe
• November 13: Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout DX
• November 13: Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & the Secret Fairy DX
• November 13: Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key DX
• November 13: Atelier Ryza Secret Trilogy Deluxe Pack
• November 13: Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road
• November 13: Yakuza Kiwami
• November 13: Yakuza Kiwami 2
• November 14: Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero
• November 18: SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide

All Huge Upcoming Xbox Series Games Coming In 2025 & Beyond

From survival horror to Microsoft exclusives, here are the major upcoming Xbox Series X/S games coming in 2025, 2026, and later.

Big Nintendo Switch 2 Games Releasing In December 2025

Metroid Prime 4, Octopath Traveler 0, & More

OK, it is finally happening! Metroid Prime 4 is coming. This is not a drill. The Nintendo Direct on September 12 revealed that the long-awaited, long-desired sequel has an official release date, and it could very well be the biggest release of the final few months of the year.

The Switch 2’s December 2025 lineup is pretty great, at least for the first two weeks. Metroid is, obviously, the big one, but Marvel Cosmic Invasion should also be a fantastic co-op experience and a great option for beat ’em up fans. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is coming to the Switch 2, which should be impressive, and Octopath Traveler 0 should be a brilliant JRPG.

• December 1: Marvel Cosmic Invasion
• December 2: Assassin’s Creed Shadows
• December 2: Red Dead Redemption And Undead Nightmare
• December 2: Simogo Legacy Collection
• December 4: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
• December 4: Octopath Traveler 0
• December 4: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds
• December 5: Nicktoons & The Dice of Destiny
• December 8: Skate Story
• December 9: Farming Simulator: Signature Edition
• December 9: Storm Lancers
• December 11: Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader
• December 12: Pokemon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension
• December 16: The Rogue Prince of Persia
• December 18: A-Train: All Aboard! Tourism

Upcoming 2025 Nintendo Switch 2 Games With No Release Date

Stardew Valley & More

The Nintendo Switch 2 2025 video game calendar is still slightly open, and the console has a range of titles that are targeting debuts before the end of the year. However, with each passing day, it seems more likely that most of these projects will be postponed to 2026. Ultimately, developers should take all the time they need to ensure they deliver the best iterations of each title, and rushing them out will do nobody any good.

• AFL 26
• Detective Dotson
• Factorio
• Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time – The Sinister Broker Bazario’s Schemes

Big Nintendo Switch 2 Games Releasing In January 2026

Animal Crossing, Dynasty Warriors, Final Fantasy 7, & More

The Nintendo Switch 2’s 2025 games lineup will, ultimately, go down as a reasonable success. Sure, it could have used a new mainline Mario or Zelda game, but Donkey Kong Bananza and Metroid Prime 4 are just as good. However, 2026’s Switch 2 games will really need to pick up the momentum to establish the console as the real must-own piece of hardware, especially within the current turbulent gaming culture. So far, January consists nearly exclusively of ports, although they are pretty big releases in their own right.

• January 15: Animal Crossing: New Horizons
• January 15: The Legend of Heroes: Trails beyond the Horizon
• January 22: Dynasty Warriors: Origins – Visions of Four Heroes
• January 22: Dynasty Warriors: Origins
• January 22: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade

Big Nintendo Switch 2 Games Releasing In February 2026

Resident Evil, Mario Tennis, Dragon Quest, & More

February 2026 is going to be huge for the Switch 2, as the month in general is packed with big releases. In terms of exclusives, Mario Tennis Fever will hopefully be one of the better Mario sports games, especially since it is basically the icon’s debut Switch 2 game. In terms of third-party games, February has it all: Dragon Quest, Reanimal, Yakuza, Ys, and Resident Evil. OK, maybe not everything, but that’s a good lineup.

• February 5: DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined
• February 6: Bandit Trap
• February 6: PGA TOUR 2K25
• February 12: ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard
• February 12: Mario Tennis Fever
• February 12: Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties
• February 13: Reanimal

Big Nintendo Switch 2 Games Releasing In March 2026

As the final month of the fiscal year, March tends to be stuffed with major drops, and the 2026 edition is no exception. Pokemon Pokopia could be a refreshing change for the franchise, but if you want a monster-collecting turn-based JRPG, you can just pick up Monster Hunter Stories 3. 007 First Light is James Bond’s latest adventure, along with a positive sign for the Switch 2’s future, as it will launch alongside other consoles. Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake should be great.
