Rumor: Ubisoft Could Be Planning Major Switch 2 Support

Ubisoft's Ambitious Plans for Nintendo Switch 2: A Flood of Games?

Recent leaks suggest a significant Ubisoft presence on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the console's official release, speculation points towards a launch potentially sooner than expected. If past trends are any indication, a strong Ubisoft lineup is highly probable.

Ubisoft's long history of supporting Nintendo platforms, including timed exclusives and collaborations, strongly suggests continued commitment. According to leaker Nate the Hate, this support will be substantial for the Switch 2.

Nate the Hate's claims include a launch-window release of Assassin's Creed Mirage for the Switch 2. Other titles, such as Assassin's Creed Shadows, are also rumored, although not for the initial launch period. The list of potential ports extends further, encompassing Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and possibly a bundled collection of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope. In total, the leak predicts "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 pointed towards multiple Assassin's Creed titles on the Switch 2, including Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins.

It's important to note the Switch 2's backward compatibility, granting immediate access to a vast library of Ubisoft games, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. However, if these rumors prove accurate, 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, it wouldn't be surprising to see these rumors materialize. The Switch 2's potential market makes it a logical target for major publishers like Ubisoft.
