Rumor: Ubisoft Could Be Planning Major Switch 2 Support

Ubisoft's Ambitious Switch 2 Lineup: Leaks Suggest a Flood of Titles

Recent leaks suggest Ubisoft is preparing a significant launch for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, with plans to bring a substantial number of games to the new console. While Nintendo hasn't officially unveiled the Switch 2, anticipation is high, and if past trends are any indication, a strong Ubisoft presence is likely.

Ubisoft's long history of supporting Nintendo platforms, including timed exclusives and collaborations, points towards continued partnership. According to leaker Nate the Hate, this support will be substantial for the Switch 2. His claims include a launch window release of Assassin's Creed Mirage for the console, meaning a release by year's end. Assassin's Creed Shadows is also rumored, though not for the launch window.

Additional Ubisoft titles reportedly slated for the Switch 2 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, largely ports, making their way to the Switch 2.

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)

These rumors align with a previous leak from last year, which also mentioned multiple Assassin's Creed titles (including Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins) coming to the Switch 2. While backward compatibility ensures existing Ubisoft titles will be playable, these new releases would significantly enhance the Switch 2's appeal 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, a robust lineup from Ubisoft isn't surprising. It's a strategic move for publishers to capitalize on a new, potentially highly successful console.
