Ubisoft's Ambitious Plans for Nintendo Switch 2: A Deep Dive into the Leaks
Recent leaks suggest a significant Ubisoft presence on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the console's official release, rumors point to a launch window brimming with Ubisoft titles. This isn't surprising, given Ubisoft's long history of supporting Nintendo platforms, including past collaborations and timed exclusives.
According to leaker Nate the Hate, Ubisoft's Switch 2 lineup is substantial, exceeding half a dozen games, primarily ports. The most significant claim is the inclusion of Assassin's Creed Mirage within the Switch 2's launch window (meaning a release by year's end). Assassin's Creed Shadows is also rumored, although not for the initial launch.
Other potential Switch 2 titles from Ubisoft include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and a possible compilation featuring Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope.
Potential Ubisoft Games for Switch 2:
- Assassin's Creed Mirage
- Assassin's Creed Shadows
- Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
- Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
- Rainbow Six Siege
- The Division (Series)
These rumors align with a previous leak from last year, which also predicted multiple Assassin's Creed titles on the Switch 2, including Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins. It's important to note that Switch 2 backward compatibility will already offer access to a vast library of Ubisoft games, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. However, the rumored new releases would significantly enhance the handheld's appeal to Assassin's Creed fans.
The speculation is credible, considering Ubisoft's strong support for the Wii U. With the Switch 2 poised for success, it's a strategic move for publishers to invest in the platform. While these remain rumors, the potential for a robust Ubisoft presence on the Switch 2 is undeniably exciting.
