Ubisoft's Ambitious Switch 2 Lineup: A Rumor Roundup
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 point to a launch window brimming with Ubisoft titles. This isn't surprising, given Ubisoft's long history of supporting Nintendo platforms with both exclusive and collaborative projects.
According to prominent leaker, Nate the Hate, Ubisoft is planning to bring "more than half a dozen" games to 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, potentially arriving before the year's end. Assassin's Creed Shadows is also rumored, though not for the initial launch.
Other potential Switch 2 Ubisoft titles include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and a possible compilation of the Mario + Rabbids games (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 remember that Switch 2 backward compatibility will provide access to a substantial existing Ubisoft library, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. However, the new releases would significantly enhance the handheld's appeal for Assassin's Creed fans.
Given Ubisoft's robust support for the Wii U and the anticipated success of the Switch 2, it's highly plausible that these rumors hold merit. The Switch 2's potential is undeniable, and it makes strategic sense for major publishers like Ubisoft to invest in its game library.
