Ubisoft's Ambitious Switch 2 Lineup: A Rumor Roundup
Recent leaks suggest a significant Ubisoft presence on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the console's official release, whispers point to a launch window brimming with Ubisoft titles. This isn't surprising, given Ubisoft's long history of supporting Nintendo platforms with both exclusive and collaborative projects.
According to prominent leaker, Nate the Hate, Ubisoft's Switch 2 strategy is substantial. His claims include a launch window release of Assassin's Creed Mirage, with Assassin's Creed Shadows following later. Further fueling speculation, a potential Mario + Rabbids collection (combining Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope), Rainbow Six Siege, and The Division series entries are also rumored for the platform. Nate the Hate anticipates "over half a dozen" Ubisoft ports for the Switch 2.
Potential Ubisoft Titles for Switch 2:
- 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 such rumors have surfaced. A previous leak from last year also hinted at multiple Assassin's Creed titles (including Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins) making their way to the Switch 2.
It's important to note the Switch 2's rumored backward compatibility, which would instantly grant access to a wide selection of existing Ubisoft games. However, the potential addition of newer titles, particularly the Assassin's Creed entries, would significantly enhance the Switch 2's appeal for fans of the franchise seeking portable gameplay.
Considering Ubisoft's strong support for the Wii U and the anticipated success of the Switch 2, these rumors seem plausible. It's a strategic move for publishers to capitalize on a new, potentially high-selling console.
