Ubisoft's Ambitious Plans for Nintendo Switch 2: A Flood of Games on the Horizon?
Recent leaks suggest Ubisoft is preparing a significant lineup of games for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo hasn't officially unveiled the console, anticipation is high, and the rumors point to a substantial Ubisoft presence. This wouldn't be surprising, given Ubisoft's long history of supporting Nintendo platforms, including past timed exclusives and collaborations.
According to leaker Nate the Hate, Ubisoft aims to release more than half a dozen titles on the Switch 2, primarily ports of existing games. A key highlight is Assassin's Creed Mirage, slated for release within the Switch 2's launch window (potentially by year's end). Assassin's Creed Shadows is also rumored, though not for the launch window. Other potential titles include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and a possible collection bundling 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 a previous leak from last year, which also predicted multiple Assassin's Creed titles on the Switch 2, including Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins. It's important to note that Switch 2 backward compatibility will already grant access to a wide range of Ubisoft games. However, the addition of these new titles, especially Assassin's Creed entries, could make the Switch 2 a highly attractive option for fans of the franchise seeking portable gameplay.
Given Ubisoft's strong support for the Wii U and the anticipated success of the Switch 2, it's logical to expect major publishers to prioritize development for the new console. The leaked plans, therefore, seem entirely plausible.
