Rumor: Ubisoft Could Be Planning Major Switch 2 Support

Ubisoft's Ambitious Plans for Nintendo Switch 2: A Flood of Games Incoming?

Recent leaks suggest a significant Ubisoft presence on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the console's official release, whispers indicate a substantial lineup of Ubisoft titles could launch alongside or shortly after it. This isn't surprising, given Ubisoft's long history of supporting Nintendo platforms with both exclusive and collaborative titles.

According to prominent leaker Nate the Hate, Ubisoft is preparing to release more than half a dozen games for the Switch 2, largely consisting of ports. The most significant claim is that Assassin's Creed Mirage is slated for the Switch 2's launch window (meaning a release by year's end). Assassin's Creed Shadows is also rumored, albeit for a later release. Other anticipated titles include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and potentially a bundled collection of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope.

Potential Ubisoft Switch 2 Game Lineup:

• Assassin's Creed Mirage
• Assassin's Creed Shadows
• Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
• Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
• Rainbow Six Siege
• The Division (Series)

These rumors align with previous leaks from last year, which also pointed towards multiple Assassin's Creed titles (including Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins) coming to the Switch 2. It's important to note that Switch 2 backward compatibility will already grant access to a large library of existing Ubisoft games, such as Assassin's Creed Odyssey. However, the rumored additions would significantly bolster the console's appeal to Assassin's Creed fans seeking portable gameplay.

Given Ubisoft's robust support for the Wii U and the anticipated success of the Switch 2, the veracity of these rumors seems plausible. The Switch 2's potential market dominance makes it a logical target for major publishers like Ubisoft to prioritize.
