With a game like the upcoming Dragon Ball FighterZ, it would only make sense that the Nintendo Switch would be a good home for it.

The leak comes from one Reddit user who has been more than a credible resource in the past.

In addition to new characters being added, a Nintendo Switch port is “in the works” slated for later 2018 release.

According to the original poster, “There is a Switch port in the works. Unreal Engine 4’s UE4.15 is Switch-friendly, so that may explain why the Switch port is coming later. I do not know what Unreal Engine 4 version it uses for the others. The much demanded Nintendo Switch version will likely come out next year in the autumn or winter.”

With more and more third party developers throwing in their support with surprise titles like DOOM, it’s not out of the question to see the potential validity in this new information. In fact, the producers themselves have spoken in favor of the port on more than one occasion in the past. With Dragon Ball Xenoverseย 2 finally on the Nintendo Switch, the adaptation is more likely than not.ย 

As of right now, Dragon Ball FighterZ is currently slated for January 26th, 2018 release on the Xboxย One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
