Ubisoft's Ambitious Plans for Nintendo Switch 2: A Flood of Titles on the Horizon

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 date sooner rather than later. Given Ubisoft's long history of supporting Nintendo platforms, including past timed exclusives and collaborations, this rumored influx of titles comes as no surprise.

According to prominent leaker, Nate the Hate, Ubisoft is preparing a substantial lineup for the Switch 2. A recent video claims Assassin's Creed Mirage is slated for the console's launch window, potentially arriving before the year's end. Assassin's Creed Shadows is also rumored, though not for the initial launch. Additional titles reportedly in the pipeline include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and a potential compilation of the Mario + Rabbids titles, Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope. Nate the Hate anticipates "more than half a dozen" Ubisoft games on the Switch 2, largely comprising ports of existing titles.

Ubisoft Switch 2 Game Roster (Rumored):

• 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. A previous leak from last year hinted at multiple Assassin's Creed titles coming to the platform, including Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins, alongside Mirage and Shadows.

It's important to note the Switch 2's rumored backward compatibility, granting immediate access to a vast library of Ubisoft games, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. However, if these rumors hold true, the Switch 2 could become a prime destination for Assassin's Creed fans seeking portable adventures.

The speculation surrounding Ubisoft's Switch 2 support aligns with past behavior. The publisher actively supported the Wii U, and with the Switch 2 poised for considerable success, a strong showing from major publishers like Ubisoft is expected.
