Ubisoft appears to be preparing to release two additional games for the Switch 2, with Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Rainbow Six Siege both suggested as possibilities. Star Wars Outlaws has already been confirmed for the platform, and there are also rumors surrounding Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Though Ubisoft has been a strong supporter of Nintendo in the past, offering exclusive titles on various consoles, it seems that they will not have any games ready at the Switch 2’s launch on June 5. The launch lineup for the Nintendo Switch 2 includes popular titles such as Mario Kart World, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, Survival Kids, and Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut.
While Ubisoft’s presence will not be felt at launch, the confirmation of Star Wars Outlaws set for a September 4 release has generated excitement. In addition, recent developments suggest that more Ubisoft games may be on the horizon for this next-generation console.
Previously, Walmart listings for the new Nintendo Switch 2 system briefly vanished before reappearing online. Following this, Ubisoft Brazil engaged their audience by asking for game preferences for the Switch 2, spotlighting Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Star Wars Outlaws, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and Rainbow Six Siege.
With Star Wars Outlaws confirmed and the leak of Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ age rating, the rumors regarding Mirage and Siege appear to gain credibility. For those unfamiliar, Assassin’s Creed Mirage is a nod to the franchise’s classic roots, contrasting with recent RPG-focused entries like Origins and Valhalla.
On the other hand, Rainbow Six Siege is a tactical multiplayer shooter that has maintained popularity since its 2015 launch. Excitingly, it is set for a major overhaul, transitioning to a free-to-play model in June under the title Rainbow Six Siege X, complete with enhanced graphics and a new 6v6 Dual Front game mode.
This could position it as an attractive launch title for the Switch 2, although no official port announcement has been made yet.
