The gaming community is buzzing with excitement over the latest leaks and rumors surrounding Ubisoft's plans for the Nintendo Switch 2. Although Nintendo has yet to officially unveil the Switch 2, the anticipation is palpable, and it's widely expected that the console will be announced soon. Given Ubisoft's long-standing support for Nintendo platforms, it's no surprise that they are poised to bring a robust lineup of games to the new console.
Ubisoft has a history of releasing timed-exclusives and collaborating with Nintendo, and it appears this trend will continue with the Switch 2. According to leaker Nate the Hate, Ubisoft is gearing up to launch Assassin's Creed Mirage within the Switch 2's launch window, meaning fans could see it by the end of the year. Additionally, Assassin's Creed Shadows is also expected to make its way to the Switch 2, though not during the initial launch period. Other titles rumored to be in the pipeline include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division series, and a potential Mario Rabbids collection featuring both Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope. Nate the Hate anticipates a total of "more than half a dozen" Ubisoft games for the Switch 2, primarily through 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
These rumors are not entirely new; a previous leak from last year also mentioned Ubisoft's plans to bring multiple Assassin's Creed titles to the Switch 2, including Mirage, Shadows, Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins. It's important to note that the Switch 2 is expected to be backward compatible, giving players immediate access to a vast library of Ubisoft games, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. If these rumors hold true, the Switch 2 could become an excellent choice for fans of the Assassin's Creed series looking to enjoy their favorite games on the go.
Given Ubisoft's strong support for the Wii U and the anticipated success of the Switch 2, it's highly plausible that these rumors will materialize. For publishers, the Switch 2 represents a lucrative opportunity, making it a strategic move to develop games for the platform.
