Ubisoft Announces Switch Exclusive Support

Ubisoft's Ambitious Switch 2 Lineup: Leaks Suggest a Flood of Titles

Recent leaks and rumors point to a significant Ubisoft presence on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the console's official release, the anticipation is palpable, and Ubisoft's historical support for Nintendo platforms suggests a strong partnership is likely to continue.

According to leaker Nate the Hate, Ubisoft is planning a substantial launch for the Switch 2, potentially releasing Assassin's Creed Mirage within the console's initial launch window (by year's end). Further fueling speculation, Assassin's Creed Shadows is also rumored, though not for the launch period. The list doesn't stop there; Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and a potential compilation of Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope are also expected. Nate the Hate anticipates "more than half a dozen" Ubisoft titles on the Switch 2, primarily ports of existing games.

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 hinted at multiple Assassin's Creed titles (including Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins) coming to the Switch 2.

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 these rumors prove accurate, the Switch 2 could become a prime destination for Assassin's Creed fans seeking portable adventures.

Given Ubisoft's robust support for the Wii U, a strong showing on the Switch 2, predicted to be a major success, seems a logical and strategic move for the publisher.
