Hazelight Studios' award-winning co-op title, It Takes Two, may be heading to the Nintendo Switch 2. A report citing a document from Hong Kong video distributor Prowell Asia indicates a potential October 15 release date for the game on Nintendo's next-generation console. This information was reportedly provided to Nintendo Everything by a source close to the publication, though the details remain unconfirmed.
It Takes Two, which won Game of the Year at The Game Awards in 2021, was initially released in March 2021 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. It later arrived on the original Nintendo Switch. The game achieved significant commercial success, selling over 20 million copies across its existing platforms by the end of 2024.
The narrative of It Takes Two follows Cody and May, a couple on the brink of divorce who are magically transformed into dolls by their child. To return to their human forms and save their relationship, they must navigate a fantastical world and work together, learning to love each other again.
Should the rumors prove true, a Nintendo Switch 2 version could bring visual enhancements, higher resolution, and improved performance compared to its previous Nintendo iteration. The purported Prowell Asia document also lists the game's supported languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Spanish, and English. While a price point has not been disclosed, the document suggests the game will be available on a game card and require 12.1 GB of storage space for installation. This indicates that a physical version will likely be offered, even with the need for digital storage.
It Takes Two is renowned as a prime example of couch co-op gameplay, and its potential inclusion on the Switch 2 library would be a notable addition. Players who own the game on the original Switch may be eligible for a free upgrade to the Switch 2 version, though this has not been officially confirmed. If not, a paid upgrade might be necessary, with pricing potentially varying between $2.49 and $19.99.
