Although confirmation came of a Nintendo Switch 2 port for AFL 26 in May last year, things had been relatively quiet since then, with the other versions of the game receiving a relatively constant stream of updates.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version of AFL 26 has just unexpectedly dropped on the Nintendo eShop, with no sign as yet of a physical release.
The announcement came via developer Big Ant’s X page.
When we reviewed AFL 26 last year, we scored it a 7.5 out of 10, stating: “AFL 26 is filled with new content that you can sink your teeth into for hours, and while there’s nothing groundbreaking about this new iteration, it’s a solid installment that vastly improves upon what Big Ant built with AFL 23.
“There are still some gameplay gripes to iron out, but given the additional features and modes included, there’s enough here for even the most pessimistic footy fan to find enjoyable. Maybe you might even see Essendon win a final, or is that too unrealistic?”
