Diablo 4 Targeted for Switch 2 This September Amid Porting Hurdles

A leaker claims Diablo 4 is headed to Switch 2 around September for $70 (boxed code), joining a wave of big ports that are taking time to land on Nintendo’s new hardware. The report comes as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 continues to face a “big technical challenge” due to Unreal Engine 5 limits, while Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition is due next month and Borderlands 4 has no release plans. Monster Hunter Wilds is described as moving forward with a possible Switch 2 announcement in the coming months.

Clair Obscur on Switch 2: Porting faces a daunting technical mountain

Sandfall Interactive says a Nintendo Switch 2 port of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is being considered but faces a “big technical challenge.” The Switch 2’s lower power than PS5/Xbox Series X and Unreal Engine 5 features not yet fully supported (Lumen Lite in particular) complicate porting. The studio (around 30 people) is weighing feasibility and timing, with no announced release window, while OE engine updates and other constraints must be navigated.

Tangibility Lost? Clair Obscur Devs Mourn End of Physical Discs

Sandfall’s Clair Obscur team says Sony’s plan to end physical game discs by 2028 is 'super sad,' arguing physical copies are part of the art and give players a tangible, store-bought experience. They explain Expedition 33 had a physical edition despite cost because many players value holding the game, and they highlight how seeing shelves of discs makes games feel real. The article notes the broader industry swing to all-digital and—despite their hopes—unlikely reversal from Sony, with Automaton hosting the interview.

Veteran dev says Expedition 33 proves AAA visuals can come from a rookie-heavy team

Adrian Chmielarz, a 34-year game industry veteran, says Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 looks and feels like a AAA title despite a core team of about 30 with many first-time developers. He describes how the team used shortcuts—such as enemies without faces and theatre-style cutscenes—to achieve high production values with fewer resources, a realization that left him saying his worldview was “ruined.” The piece highlights how outsourcing and inexperience can still yield a visually and technically polished game, challenging assumptions about what it takes to make AAA-quality RPGs.
