Switch 2 Rumors Heat Up with Ubisoft Support Hints

Ubisoft's Ambitious Plans for Nintendo Switch 2: A Flood of Games 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, 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 timed exclusives and collaborations.

Leaker Nate the Hate claims Ubisoft is preparing "more than half a dozen" Switch 2 games, largely ports of existing titles. The most prominent among these is Assassin's Creed Mirage, slated for the console's launch window (meaning a release by year's end). Assassin's Creed Shadows is also anticipated, though not within the initial launch period. Other potential titles include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and a possible compilation of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope.

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 predicted multiple Assassin's Creed titles (including Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins) for the Switch 2. While backward compatibility will grant access to a large Ubisoft library from the outset, the rumored new releases significantly bolster the Switch 2's appeal for Assassin's Creed fans seeking portable adventures.

Given Ubisoft's robust support for the Wii U and the Switch 2's anticipated success, it's highly plausible that these rumors will prove accurate. The Switch 2 is poised to become a major gaming platform, and a strong showing from a publisher like Ubisoft is almost guaranteed.
