What’s coming to Switch 2 this year

Nintendo platforms are getting more confirmed software: Warhammer Survivors — a Vampire Survivors‑style roguelite with Warhammer characters — is slated for both Switch 1 and Switch 2 this year, broadening the early third‑party lineup. (nintendolife.com) Graveyard Keeper 2 has also been announced for Switch and Switch 2, and Snack World: Reloaded is planned for a worldwide Switch 2 release (with PS5 and PC versions reported), so the platform’s early catalog looks mixed between new indie‑style hits and remakes.

Nintendo’s June 5, 2025 launch hardware is no longer the only part of the Switch 2 story. In the last two days, three more games were confirmed for the system, and all three come from outside Nintendo’s own studios. (nintendo.com) The newest addition is Warhammer Survivors, which Auroch Digital says is coming in 2026 to Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and personal computer through Steam. Its pitch is simple: pick a Warhammer hero, survive giant enemy swarms, and keep stacking weapons until the screen turns into chaos. (gematsu.com) Auroch says Warhammer Survivors pulls from two separate fantasy settings, Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar, instead of sticking to one universe. The Steam page describes it as a “survivors” game with evolving weapons and endless waves, which puts it in the same fast-run, auto-attacking lane that made Vampire Survivors a breakout hit. (store.steampowered.com) The second announcement is Graveyard Keeper 2, a sequel from Lazy Bear Games and tinyBuild that was revealed on April 9, 2026. It is also planned for both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, plus PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and personal computer. (vgchartz.com) That matters because the first Graveyard Keeper was a strange little management game about running a medieval cemetery, and the sequel is leaning even harder into that tone. Publisher materials say you restore a town, automate production lines, manage the graveyard, and even lead an undead army while dealing with a zombie outbreak. (gonintendo.com) The third game is Snack World: Reloaded, announced by Level-5 on April 10, 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and personal computer. Unlike the other two, this one has not been announced for the original Switch, which makes it one of the clearer signs that some publishers are already treating Switch 2 as the main Nintendo target. (gematsu.com) Snack World: Reloaded is a remake of Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl – Gold, which first appeared on Nintendo 3DS in Japan in 2017 and later reached Switch worldwide in 2020. Level-5 says the new version adds upgraded graphics, reworked gameplay and controls, extra story content, and a new mode. (nintendoeverything.com) Put together, the pattern is pretty clear. Early Switch 2 support is filling in with mid-size projects that are easier to move across PlayStation, Xbox, personal computer, and Nintendo hardware than giant exclusive blockbusters are. (vgchartz.com) That gives the machine a very mixed first year: Nintendo sells the box with its own heavy hitters, while third parties bulk out the calendar with roguelites, management sims, and remakes that can arrive faster. These three announcements are small on their own, but together they show the Switch 2 release list getting denser in exactly the way a new console usually needs. (nintendo.com)
