Ubisoft's Ambitious Plans for Nintendo Switch 2: A Flood of Games on the Horizon
Recent leaks suggest a significant Ubisoft presence on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the console's official release, rumors point to a launch window brimming with Ubisoft titles. This isn't surprising, given Ubisoft's long history of supporting Nintendo platforms, including past collaborations and timed exclusives.
According to prominent leaker, Nate the Hate, Ubisoft aims to launch Assassin's Creed Mirage within the Switch 2's launch window – potentially before the year's end. Further down the line, Assassin's Creed Shadows is also rumored for the console. The list doesn't stop there; Nate the Hate anticipates "more than half a dozen" Ubisoft games on the Switch 2, mostly ports. This includes titles like Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and possibly a compilation featuring Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope.
Potential Ubisoft Titles for Switch 2:
- Assassin's Creed Mirage
- Assassin's Creed Shadows
- Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
- Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
- Rainbow Six Siege
- The Division (Series)
This isn't the first time such rumors have surfaced. A previous leak from last year hinted at multiple Assassin's Creed titles (including Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins) coming to the Switch 2.
It's important to note the Switch 2's rumored backward compatibility, granting instant access to a vast library of existing Ubisoft games, such as Assassin's Creed Odyssey. However, if these rumors prove accurate, the Switch 2 could become a prime destination for Assassin's Creed fans seeking portable adventures.
Given Ubisoft's robust support for the Wii U and the anticipated success of the Switch 2, their involvement seems almost inevitable. Many publishers are likely already developing for this highly anticipated console.
