Ubisoft's Ambitious Switch 2 Lineup: Leaks Suggest a Flood of Titles
Recent leaks and rumors point to a significant Ubisoft presence on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the console's official release, the anticipation is palpable, and Ubisoft's history of strong support for Nintendo platforms suggests a substantial game portfolio is in the works.
According to leaker Nate the Hate, Ubisoft is planning a major push for the Switch 2, with "more than half a dozen" titles in the pipeline, primarily ports of existing games. A key highlight is the rumored launch window release of Assassin's Creed Mirage. This suggests a potential launch-day or very early availability. Other titles mentioned include Assassin's Creed Shadows (though not expected at launch), Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and potentially a bundled collection featuring Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope.
Potential 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)
This isn't the first indication of Ubisoft's Switch 2 ambitions. Previous leaks from last year also hinted at multiple Assassin's Creed titles coming to the platform, including Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins. While the Switch 2's backward compatibility ensures access to a vast library of existing Ubisoft games, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey, these new releases would significantly enhance the handheld's appeal for Assassin's Creed fans.
Given Ubisoft's robust support for the Wii U, it's hardly surprising to see them aggressively pursuing the Switch 2. With the new console poised for success, it's a strategic move for publishers to secure a place on this anticipated platform.
