Ubisoft Signals Potential Nintendo Switch Expansion

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 officially silent on the console's release, speculation suggests a launch window sometime soon. Given Ubisoft's long history of supporting Nintendo platforms – including timed exclusives and collaborations – a strong showing on the Switch 2 seems highly probable.

According to leaker Nate the Hate, Ubisoft plans to bring a substantial number of games to the new console. A key claim is the launch-window release of Assassin's Creed Mirage, meaning a debut before the year's end. Assassin's Creed Shadows is also rumored, though not for the initial launch. Other titles reportedly in the pipeline include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and potentially a 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, largely consisting of ports.

Potential Ubisoft Switch 2 Titles:

• 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 Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins, alongside Mirage and Shadows.

It's important to note the Switch 2's expected backward compatibility, which would instantly grant access to a wide range of existing Ubisoft games, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. However, if these rumors prove true, the Switch 2 could become a prime destination for Assassin's Creed fans seeking portable adventures.

Given Ubisoft's past aggressive support for the Wii U and the anticipated success of the Switch 2, the rumored plans are entirely plausible. It's a logical move for major publishers to prioritize development for a console expected to be a significant market player.
