Nintendo’s next console is already shaping up to be a powerhouse, and Hogwarts Legacy is just one of many third-party titles confirmed for its launch. Alongside this magical adventure, other notable titles such as Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition , Street Fighter 6 , Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade , and the latest installments of Madden NFL and EA Sports FC are set to arrive. But that’s not all—Nintendo also unveiled exciting first-party titles, including Mario Kart World , Donkey Kong Bananza , and upgraded editions of both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom . Clearly, the Switch 2 is bringing a well-rounded lineup right out of the gate.
For those unfamiliar with Hogwarts Legacy , the game takes players back to the 1800s, long before the events of the Harry Potter series, where they can explore Hogwarts, learn spells, tame magical beasts, and carve out their own legacy within the Wizarding World. Originally released in 2023 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, it later arrived on previous-gen consoles and even the original Switch. However, the new Switch 2 version promises to deliver a vastly improved experience, taking full advantage of the console’s upgraded hardware.
Of course, the game has not been without controversy. Due to transphobic remarks made by Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, Hogwarts Legacy has been a divisive topic within the gaming community. While Rowling was not directly involved in the game's development, she stands to profit from its success. Many players and gaming outlets have discussed the implications, with some choosing to boycott the title and others advocating for support of trans creators and charities.
Regardless of where one stands on the debate, there's no denying that Hogwarts Legacy remains one of the most anticipated titles on the Switch 2. Its addition to the console’s launch lineup only adds to the excitement surrounding Nintendo’s next big step in gaming. With improved visuals, enhanced performance, and fresh gameplay mechanics, fans of the Wizarding World have a lot to look forward to.
Mark your calendars for June 5, 2025, and get ready to don your robes, grab your wands, and step into the magic like never before. Will you be enrolling at Hogwarts on the Switch 2? Let us know your thoughts!
