According to recent leaks and rumors, Ubisoft is poised to significantly expand its presence on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo has yet to officially unveil the Switch 2, its launch is eagerly anticipated. Given the historical support Ubisoft has provided for Nintendo platforms, it's no surprise that they are gearing up to bring a variety of their titles to this new console.
Ubisoft's longstanding relationship with Nintendo has seen them release timed-exclusives and collaborate on projects, a trend that seems set to continue with the Switch 2. Leaker Nate the Hate has revealed that Ubisoft plans to launch Assassin's Creed Mirage during the Switch 2's launch window, which typically means within the first year of release. Assassin's Creed Shadows is also rumored for the Switch 2, though it will not be available at launch. Other anticipated Ubisoft games for the Switch 2 include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division series, and a potential Mario Rabbids collection that would bundle Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope. Nate the Hate suggests that Ubisoft is planning to bring "more than half a dozen" games to the Switch 2, mainly through ports.
Rumored 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
These rumors align with previous leaks from last year, which also mentioned Ubisoft's intentions to bring multiple Assassin's Creed titles to the Switch 2, including Mirage, Shadows, Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins.
It's important to note that the Switch 2 is expected to be backward compatible, providing immediate access to a wide array of Ubisoft games, such as Assassin's Creed Odyssey. If these rumors hold true, the Switch 2 could become an excellent choice for Assassin's Creed fans looking to enjoy the series on a portable platform.
Given Ubisoft's robust support for the Wii U and the anticipated success of the Switch 2, it's highly plausible that these rumors will materialize. For publishers, the Switch 2 represents a lucrative opportunity to tap into Nintendo's expansive user base.
