Firaxis, the developer of Civilization 7, expressed interest in the Joy-Con mouse mode in an IGN interview. Nacon, a prominent game publisher, confirmed its readiness to launch Switch 2 titles. Furthermore, Hollow Knight: Silksong is rumored for the platform, and EA recently suggested Madden, FIFA, and The Sims as suitable additions to the Switch 2 catalog.
