The Nintendo Switch has been an RPG buffet, so, unsurprisingly, there’s already a healthy list of Switch 2 RPGs planned on the June 5 2025 launch day and beyond.
It’s quite the mixture too. Brand new gems, ports of Nintendo classics, hotly-anticpated sequels, and some of the biggest RPGs of this decade make up an impressive and ever-growing roster of Switch 2 RPGs.
We’ll update this list with every confirmed Switch 2 RPG, along with release dates as they become available. So keep an eye on this one to plan your RPG-playing future on the next big console.
Switch 2 RPGs Confirmed So Far

Publisher: CD Projekt Red
June 5, 2025

Deltarune Chapters 1-4
Developer: Toby Fox
Publisher: Toby Fox
June 5, 2025
Undertale was a big hit on the original Switch, so having Chapters 3 & 4 of Deltarune debut at the launch of Switch 2 is a smart move. If you’ve never played the first two chapters, this’ll be a great time to really dive into the Undertale follow-up.
