Rumor: Ubisoft Could Be Planning Major Switch 2 Support

Ubisoft's Ambitious Switch 2 Lineup: Rumors Suggest a Flood of Titles

Recent leaks and speculation 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, especially considering Ubisoft's history of strong support for Nintendo platforms. This legacy, marked by timed exclusives and collaborative projects, appears poised to continue with the Switch 2.

According to prominent leaker Nate the Hate, Ubisoft is planning a substantial launch for the new console. His claims suggest Assassin's Creed Mirage will be a launch title, or at least arrive within the console's initial release window (meaning before the end of the year). Assassin's Creed Shadows, however, is reportedly slated for a later release. The list doesn't stop there; rumors also include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division series, 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 for the Switch 2, primarily ports of existing games.

Potential Ubisoft Switch 2 Game Roster:

• Assassin's Creed Mirage
• Assassin's Creed Shadows
• Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
• Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
• Rainbow Six Siege
• The Division series (likely The Division 2)

This isn't the first time such rumors have surfaced. A previous leak from last year hinted at multiple Assassin's Creed titles coming to the Switch 2, including Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins, alongside Mirage and Shadows.

It's important to note that the Switch 2's backward compatibility will provide immediate access to a large library of Ubisoft games, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. However, if these rumors prove accurate, the Switch 2 could become a highly attractive option for Assassin's Creed fans seeking portable gameplay.

Given Ubisoft's aggressive support for the Wii U, and the Switch 2's projected success, it wouldn't be surprising to see these rumors materialize. The potential for a large player base makes it a logical move for major publishers to invest in the new platform.
