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, whispers point to a launch window brimming with Ubisoft titles. This isn't surprising, given Ubisoft's long history of supporting Nintendo platforms, including past timed exclusives and collaborations.

According to leaker Nate the Hate, Ubisoft is preparing a substantial Switch 2 lineup. A key claim is the launch window release of Assassin's Creed Mirage. Further down the line, Assassin's Creed Shadows is also rumored. Other potential ports include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and possibly a bundled collection of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope. Nate the Hate anticipates "more than half a dozen" Ubisoft titles, predominantly ports, gracing 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)

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 note the Switch 2's backward compatibility, meaning many existing Ubisoft games will be playable immediately. However, the rumored new releases would significantly bolster the Switch 2's library, particularly for Assassin's Creed fans seeking portable adventures.

Considering Ubisoft's strong support for the Wii U and the Switch 2's anticipated success, the rumors of extensive Ubisoft support seem entirely plausible. Many publishers will likely prioritize development for this new console.
