First‑party Switch 2 ratings spotted

Two unannounced Nintendo release dates may be getting closer: European ratings listings now show final age marks for Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. (nintendolife.com) Nintendo Life reported on April 12 that Nintendo’s European webpages now list Splatoon Raiders at PEGI 7 and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave at PEGI 12. The outlet said Fire Emblem’s page had previously carried a provisional rating. (nintendolife.com) Nintendo has already announced both games for Switch 2, but only one has a public launch window. Nintendo’s official game pages say Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is due in 2026, while Splatoon Raiders still shows “to be determined.” (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) Age ratings are one of the last routine steps before a game can be sold in many markets. In Europe, PEGI assigns labels such as 7 and 12 to signal the minimum recommended age for players. (pegi.info) (nintendolife.com) That makes these database changes useful to fans even without a Nintendo Direct or a release-date trailer. A provisional rating usually means a publisher has not yet finished the material needed for a final classification, while a final public listing suggests the approval process has moved forward. (finalweapon.net) (nintendolife.com) The timing matters because Nintendo’s Switch 2 is no longer a future platform. Nintendo said the console launched on June 5, 2025, in the United States at $449.99, and the company’s current hardware page presents it as an available system. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) Splatoon Raiders is the more mysterious of the two projects. Nintendo announced it as the first Splatoon spinoff for Switch 2 and said players take the role of a mechanic exploring the Spirhalite Islands, but it has not attached a date. (nintendo.com) Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave has had a firmer outline since September 2025. Nintendo described it then as a new turn-based tactical role-playing game for Switch 2 and said it would launch in 2026. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) Nintendo has not, as of April 12, posted release dates for either game on its official pages. Until that changes, the ratings update is the clearest public sign that both first-party Switch 2 titles are moving through the final paperwork. (nintendo.com) (nintendo.com)
