During Ubisoft’s recent earnings call with corporate investors, CEO Yves Guillemot revealed the the firm would be announcing new titles for the Nintendo Switch “quite soon”, although no other details were offered at the time. Ubisoft already released Just Dance 2017 for the Nintendo Switch earlier this year, and has promised a host of titles for the console, including:
- Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
- Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition
- Just Dance 2018
- Monopoly
- Starlink: Battle for Atlas
For now, we can only guess which existing IPs Ubisoft will be plotting to launch on the Switch, given that publishers tend to only choose very casual titles for Nintendo platforms. It’s possible that the new Assassin’s Creed Origins game – announced at this year’s E3 – could be revealed as a major port for the Switch. That would be a significant coup for Nintendo if the Switch fell in line with the October 27 launch date other consoles are getting.
Ubisoft also has some other major IP franchises, including South Park, Beyond Good & Evil, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s games. It’s possible that even older games from these franchises could be ported over to the Switch.
