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, speculation suggests a launch is imminent. Given Ubisoft's long history of supporting Nintendo platforms – including past timed exclusives and collaborations – a strong showing on the Switch 2 seems highly probable.

According to prominent leaker Nate the Hate, Ubisoft is planning a substantial Switch 2 portfolio. His claims include a launch window release of Assassin's Creed Mirage, meaning a release by year's end. Assassin's Creed Shadows is also rumored, though not for the launch window. Further titles reportedly in the pipeline include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and potentially a bundled collection of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope. Nate the Hate anticipates "more than half a dozen" Ubisoft titles on the Switch 2, largely comprising ports of existing games.

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 we've heard about Ubisoft's Switch 2 ambitions. A previous leak from last year suggested multiple Assassin's Creed titles, including Mirage, Shadows, Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins.

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 prove true, the Switch 2 could become a prime destination for Assassin's Creed fans seeking portable adventures.

Ubisoft's robust support for the Wii U serves as a precedent. With the Switch 2 poised for success, it's a logical move for publishers to prioritize development for this anticipated platform. Therefore, the rumors of extensive Ubisoft Switch 2 support are far from surprising.
