Ubisoft Mulls Major Nintendo Switch Expansion

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, the anticipation is palpable, and whispers point to a robust Ubisoft game catalog. This isn't surprising, given Ubisoft's long history of supporting Nintendo platforms, including past timed exclusives and collaborations.

According to prominent leaker, Nate the Hate, Ubisoft is planning a substantial Switch 2 launch, potentially releasing Assassin's Creed Mirage within the console's initial launch window (before the end of the year). Further down the line, Assassin's Creed Shadows is also rumored, alongside other titles.

The leaked lineup, potentially exceeding half a dozen games, primarily consists of ports, and includes:

Rumored Ubisoft Switch 2 Titles:

• 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 wide array of existing Ubisoft titles, such as Assassin's Creed Odyssey. However, the new releases would significantly enhance the handheld's appeal for Assassin's Creed fans.

Given Ubisoft's strong support for the Wii U and the Switch 2's projected success, these rumors seem plausible. It's a strategic move for publishers to capitalize on a potentially high-selling console. The coming months will likely bring further clarity on these exciting possibilities.
