Rumor: 4 Old-School Ubisoft Games Could Be Coming to the Switch in 2025

Key Takeaways

  • Rumors say that Ubisoft is aiming to release old-school titles on the Nintendo Switch in 2025.
  • Apparently, Ubisoft plans to remaster Splinter Cell Blacklist and Rayman 3 for the Switch in 2025.
  • Nintendo is rumored to be working with third-party publishers like Ubisoft to bring more remastered games to the Switch next year.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I’ve seen the gaming industry evolve from the days of pixelated graphics and limited gameplay. The news about Ubisoft remastering old-school titles like Splinter Cell Blacklist and Rayman 3 for the Nintendo Switch in 2025 has me both excited and intrigued.


A Brazilian journalist hinted that classic Ubisoft games might become available on the Nintendo Switch in 2025, with the intention of leveraging the console’s huge user base. Nintendo plans to depend on publishers such as Ubisoft to maintain their Switch library, while they concentrate on the development of the handheld’s next generation successor.

Recently, Ubisoft has been facing some tough times. The sales of Star Wars Outlaws didn’t reach the expected targets, which led to a decrease in Ubisoft’s stock price and a comprehensive evaluation of their internal operations. This review has resulted in the postponement of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, initially scheduled for November 15, to February 14, 2025. Ubisoft acknowledges that XDefiant, their free-to-play shooter, didn’t perform as well as hoped but denies the rumors suggesting its closure. In light of these challenges, Ubisoft has mentioned the possibility of going private with Tencent’s support.

Despite facing some obstacles, the company’s progress in new projects continues unabated. Journalist Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe, also known as tvPH on YouTube, has revealed that Ubisoft plans to re-release several older games on the Switch by 2025. One of these games is rumored to be a remastered version of Splinter Cell Blacklist, distinct from the previously mentioned Splinter Cell remake. Additionally, there are whispers of a remastered version of Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, an original release in 2003, joining the lineup as well.

Insider Claims Ubisoft Will Remaster Games for The Nintendo Switch

Pedro Henrique expresses doubt about whether the reported remake of Rayman 3, currently rumored to be in development by the team behind the now-defunct Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, is indeed the same remaster that he’s referring to. The journalist didn’t disclose the identities of the other two Ubisoft games destined for the Nintendo Switch, but he did confirm that they’re in production. In the comments section, he hinted that these games are likely to appear on other platforms as well.

Pedro’s details go beyond just Ubisoft. He claims that Nintendo is relying on other third-party developers like Bandai Namco and EA to keep the Switch player community supplied with remastered versions of classic games. It has been rumored for some time now that Bandai Namco could be remaking a Nintendo game, and there are whispers that it might be Kid Icarus.

In conclusion, Pedro underlined the fact that Nintendo themselves will release additional remasters in 2025, along with the previously announced “Donkey Kong Country Returns HD”. He did not disclose specific titles, but hinted at one game originally designed for the GameCube and another for the Nintendo 3DS. Previously, an insider had shared this information in May, suggesting that the Switch would get two significant games in 2025. However, it’s important to remember that Pedro’s information is a rumor and should be taken with a degree of skepticism.
