The Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase is officially confirmed, and currently, it’s anyone’s guess which games could appear. Granted, some titles seem more likely than others – like the rumored Switch 2 version of Monster Hunter Wilds – but we may see some surprises, including Game Science’s Black Myth: Wukong.
In a new video outlining predictions for the Direct, NateTheHate (who originally leaked the date) says he’s heard of it coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. Whether it appears during the showcase is another matter, however. “The prediction is that it would be at this Partner Direct, but I have heard this game is coming to Switch 2 at some point.”
Even if it doesn’t appear, an announcement is still possible this year. Given the performance issues on PS5 and PC, one may be concerned about how it performs on the Switch 2. However, alongside updates to improve its frame rate and fix stability concerns, the action RPG could leverage the hardware’s DLSS upscaling for better performance.
As always, time will tell, and with the Direct Partner Showcase airing at 6 AM PT on February 5th, we may find out sooner rather than later. Black Myth: Wukong launched in August 2024 for PS5 and PC, and went on to sell over 20 million units in its first month. It would arrive for Xbox Series X/S last year – check out our review, where we gave it a 9 out of 10.
Game Science is also working on a new title in the same universe, Black Myth: Zhong Kui, announced to be in early development as of August 2025.
