Ubisoft's Switch Future: Exclusive Surprises Leaked

Ubisoft's Ambitious Plans for Nintendo Switch 2: A Flood of Games?

Recent leaks suggest a significant Ubisoft presence on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo remains officially silent on the console's release, anticipation is high, and whispers point to a substantial lineup of Ubisoft titles. This isn't surprising, given Ubisoft's long history of supporting Nintendo platforms, including past timed exclusives and collaborations.

According to leaker Nate the Hate, Ubisoft is planning to launch Assassin's Creed Mirage within the Switch 2's launch window – potentially by the end of the year. Assassin's Creed Shadows is also rumored, though not for the launch period. Other potential ports include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and possibly a compilation of the Mario + Rabbids games (Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope). Nate the Hate anticipates "more than half a dozen" Ubisoft titles for the Switch 2, primarily ports.

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)

These rumors align with a previous leak from last year, which also mentioned multiple Assassin's Creed titles (including Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins) coming to the Switch 2. It's important to note that backward compatibility is expected, granting immediate access to a vast library of existing Ubisoft games. However, the addition of these new titles, particularly the Assassin's Creed games, could make the Switch 2 a highly attractive option for fans of the franchise seeking portable gameplay.

Given Ubisoft's past aggressive support for the Wii U and the Switch 2's projected success, the rumors of extensive Ubisoft support seem entirely plausible. The Switch 2's potential as a major gaming platform makes it a logical target for publishers like Ubisoft.
