Ubisoft appears poised to bring substantial support to the Nintendo Switch 2, according to recent leaks and rumors. Although Nintendo has yet to officially unveil the Switch 2, the anticipation around its release continues to grow. Given Ubisoft's longstanding commitment to Nintendo platforms, it's no surprise that they are expected to continue this tradition with the new console.
Ubisoft has a history of releasing timed-exclusives and collaborating on games for Nintendo consoles, and this trend is expected to extend to the Switch 2. Leaker Nate the Hate recently shared that Ubisoft intends to launch Assassin's Creed Mirage within the Switch 2's launch window, potentially by the end of the year. Additionally, Assassin's Creed Shadows is slated for a later release on the console. Other games rumored to be coming to the Switch 2 include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and a possible Mario Rabbids collection that would combine Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope. Nate the Hate anticipates "more than half a dozen" Ubisoft titles 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
This isn't the first time Ubisoft games have been mentioned in connection with the Switch 2. Previous leaks from last year also suggested multiple Assassin's Creed titles, including Mirage, Shadows, Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins, would be coming to the new console.
It's important to note that the Switch 2 is expected to be backward compatible, granting access to a wide array of existing Ubisoft games, such as Assassin's Creed Odyssey, right from the start. If these rumors hold true, the Switch 2 could become an excellent platform for fans of the Assassin's Creed series looking to enjoy these 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 promising opportunity to reach a broad audience, making it a strategic move to develop games for the platform.
