A new report suggests that many third-party games are coming to Nintendo Switch 2.

According to leaker 'NatetheHate' (via VGC) Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater will be among the first AAA titles to arrive on the Switch 2, alongside Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the latter of which is said to arrive in 2026.

In a recent podcast, it was also claimed that there has been support from Ubisoft to bring two of its Assassin's Creed games to the next-gen console, including 2023's Assassin's Creed Mirage and Assassin's Creed Shadows.

"One title that will be there within the launch window comes from Ubisoft, and it’s going to be Assassin’s Creed Mirage," said the leaker.

Assassin's Creed Shadows isn't expected to be released until March 20 following its recent delay from February 14, for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S, but it's claimed that the game will be making its way to the Switch 2 at a later date.

"To my understanding, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is one of those in development ports, it just won’t be ready for launch, and it probably won’t be ready for the launch window," they said.

It was also claimed that Ubisoft is "doing more than half a dozen games for the Switch 2" and "a lot of them are going to be late ports", including some popular multiplayer titles like The Division and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.

"There was also some discussion and consideration of doing a Mario Rabbids collection, so it would have one and two in a single package," they added. "It’s just a question of when will these games come out, and I think for Ubisoft, if they can port the game, they will port the game."

The Nintendo Switch 2 doesn't have a release date just yet, but recent reports suggest that the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement could finally happen this week after months of leaks and rumors.

This is probably why Rebirth had crappy visuals and a lazy Pro patch (all they did was throw in PSSR)... I reckon the programmers were busy trying to torture the first game to work on Switch 2.

 

[Robb]

That’s just the tip of the iceberg I imagine if publishers expect Nintendo to deliver another platform with +150M users.

Rebirth is supposedly coming to Switch 2 as well.

I'm guessing this is satire, but just in case not, you do realize the Dock mode is said to be clocked at 1Ghz right?

could work, with dlss and 30fps.

they didnt specify frame rate and fps right

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

I hope there'll be good third party joy con replacements that don't give you hand cramps

 

[March Climber]

Saber Interactive, Panic Button Studios, and Shiver Entertainment.

Anyone who has played a PS5/XSX game that somehow ran on the Switch, should know these 3 companies.

 

[cireza]

Every third party company will want to put at least a couple games on the console during the first year, so that they can be long sellers. Doesn't tell much about long term support though, and doesn't mean games will run well either.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Just a little bit of DLSS and other bullshit gimmickry and voila!

Recently released image of FF 7 Rebirth running on Switch 2. Just outside Kalm.

No

Can't wait for sw2 to become the new series s...devs must be super happy...

 

[Thief1987]

Well it will be interesting to see how they will try to squeeze something like UE5 into 70GB/s memory bandwidth. Results promise to be very entertaining.

Not an issue, they are going to aim 540p undocked + Nvidia textures compression tech, also in the Nintendo patents there are a few techniques too, and then use DLSS to reach 1080Pr. Docked they can use the full bandwidth of LPDDR5X.

Just because something can 'technically' be ported to the switch 2 dosen't mean it should. I seriously doubt that alot of switch 2 ports are going to hold up both visually and technically in terms of stable framerates. Devs are going to shove these games on here looking for quick crash and use the portable gimmick for their games to sell.

[ArtHands]

So they can play PS5 tier games that are not on last gen machine.

Good enough. Fair to say this is a PS5 Lite handheld

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Hmm if true... the release date for AC Shadows will most likely coincide with the Switch 2 release date. So March?

I for one can’t wait to see what new monstrosities devs will create on Switch 2.

That's a ps5 game on a regular switch with 4 gigs of ram.

you actually just proved why these games will look great on switch 2.

 

[Ozriel]

My sources tell me that there will be a Just Dance game released for Switch 2 this year.

Willing to put my account on the line for this leak

 

[Woopah]

Apparently Mirage is in the launch window, Shadows comes later.

Metal Gear Solid Delta merch is releasing but the game is still nowhere to be seen

Konami has failed to keep fans in-the-know for the Metal Gear Solid Delta Snake Eater release date, but merch is going forth anyway.
