Ubisoft Has “More Than Half a Dozen” Switch 2 Ports in the Works – Rumour

gamingbolt.com:

The Nintendo Switch has boasted solid support from Ubisoft over the course of its prolonged lifetime, and it looks like the publisher is set to step up its efforts further still with the console’s imminent successor. That the Switch 2 will likely boast stronger third-party support owing to its allegedly stronger hardware has looked likely for some time, and as per insider NateTheHate, Ubisoft will be one of the publishers leading the charge in that department. 

Speaking during a recent podcast episode, the leaker claimed that Ubisoft has “more than half a dozen” games in development for the Switch 2, including ports of upcoming games, recent releases, and older titles. Assassin’s Creed Mirage will allegedly be available for the console within its launch window, while a version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows is also in development. Allegedly, however, the latter won’t be ready for release until later. 

The insider also claims Switch 2 versions of Rainbow Six Siege and The Division franchise are in development, and that the idea of a combined Mario + Rabbids pack containing both titles has also been internally considered. 

Past leaks have claimed that Ubisoft also intends to release the next Far Cry for the Switch 2. 

Given the publisher’s support for the Switch, it wouldn’t be surprising to see it stepping up its efforts for its successor. The Switch 2 itself is allegedly going to be revealed later this week, so we might have more official details sooner rather than later. 

Meanwhile, as per NateTheHate, other major third-party titles like Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthare also headed for Nintendo’s next console.
