Rumor: Ubisoft Could Be Planning Major Switch 2 Support

Summary

• Leaks suggest over half a dozen Ubisoft games are headed to the Nintendo Switch 2.
• Assassin's Creed Mirage is reportedly slated for the console's launch window.
• Assassin's Creed Shadows and other Ubisoft titles are also rumored for the Switch 2.

Recent leaks and rumors point to ambitious Ubisoft plans for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo hasn't officially unveiled the console, its arrival seems imminent. Given the success of previous Nintendo platforms, a strong Ubisoft presence on the Switch 2 is highly anticipated.

Ubisoft boasts a long history of supporting Nintendo consoles, releasing timed exclusives and collaborating on various titles. This strong relationship appears poised to continue with the Switch 2.

According to leaker Nate the Hate, Ubisoft is preparing a significant Switch 2 lineup. A recent video claimed Assassin's Creed Mirage is targeted for the console's launch window (meaning a release by year's end). Assassin's Creed Shadows is also rumored, though not for the launch window. Other potential Switch 2 releases include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and possibly a collection encompassing Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope. Nate the Hate predicts "more than half a dozen" Ubisoft titles for the Switch 2, primarily ports.

Rumored Ubisoft Switch 2 Games

• 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 games coming to the Switch 2. A previous leak from last year indicated plans to bring multiple Assassin's Creed titles, including Mirage, Shadows, Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins.

It's important to note the Switch 2's backward compatibility, granting immediate access to a vast library of Ubisoft games, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. However, if the rumors prove accurate, the Switch 2 could become a premier handheld destination for Assassin's Creed fans.

The possibility of substantial Ubisoft support for the Switch 2 isn't surprising. Ubisoft's strong support for the Wii U is a precedent. With the Switch 2 almost certainly destined for success, it's a logical move for publishers to develop games for this promising platform.
