Ubisoft's Ambitious Switch 2 Lineup: Leaks Suggest a Flood of Titles
Recent leaks and rumors point to a significant Ubisoft presence on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the console's official release, the anticipation is palpable, and speculation suggests a strong partnership with Ubisoft. This wouldn't be surprising, given Ubisoft's long history of supporting Nintendo platforms with both timed exclusives and collaborative projects.
According to prominent leaker Nate the Hate, Ubisoft is planning a substantial Switch 2 launch, potentially including several key titles. A standout claim is that Assassin's Creed Mirage is slated for release within the Switch 2's launch window – meaning a potential arrival before the year's end. Assassin's Creed Shadows, while also rumored, is reportedly not expected until later. Other potential ports include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and a possible bundled collection of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope. Nate the Hate anticipates "more than half a dozen" Ubisoft titles for the Switch 2, primarily consisting of ports.
Potential Ubisoft Switch 2 Games:
- 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 also predicted multiple Assassin's Creed titles on the Switch 2, including Mirage, Shadows, Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins.
It's important to note the Switch 2's expected backward compatibility, granting instant access to a large library of existing Ubisoft games, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. However, if these rumors hold true, the Switch 2 could become a highly desirable platform for Assassin's Creed fans seeking portable adventures.
Given Ubisoft's robust support for the Wii U, and the Switch 2's projected success, it's entirely plausible that these leaks are accurate. The potential for significant returns makes a strong Switch 2 presence a logical move for most publishers.
