EA Confirms Plans to Bring Major Franchises to Nintendo Switch 2
EA's CEO, Andrew Wilson, recently confirmed the company's intention to release numerous titles on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. During a financial call, Wilson highlighted key franchises like Madden NFL and EA Sports FC as having strong potential on the new platform, predicting they could achieve significant success. He also mentioned The Sims series, citing the previous success of My Sims as evidence of the franchise's appeal to a new player base on Nintendo consoles. Wilson emphasized the Switch 2's potential to introduce EA's games to a wider audience.
While specific details remain undisclosed, the statement suggests a commitment to delivering compelling versions of these popular titles. Past releases of FIFA on Nintendo Switch have been "legacy" versions, but given the Switch 2's anticipated increased power, future iterations of EA Sports FC may offer a more feature-rich experience, potentially closer to the versions available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
The Switch 2's game lineup is steadily taking shape. Rumors point to a diverse range of third-party titles, including Civilization 7 (with Firaxis expressing interest in the console's rumored Joy-Con mouse mode), Greedfall 2, Test Drive Unlimited, RoboCop: Rogue City, and the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong. Nintendo itself has confirmed a new Mario Kart is in development, with further details expected at a Nintendo Direct in April.
