Ubisoft has shown a respectable amount of support for the Nintendo Switch over the past five years. If you're curious to see what else might be on the way from the third-party French company, read on.
A new report by the reliable leaker Tom Henderson on Xfire has shared details about "nearly 20" of Ubisoft's upcoming projects, based on several sources with "direct knowledge" of Ubisoft's plans.
Apart from an update on Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope - which is "going well" and is expected to release on time this year, perhaps the most interesting rumour here is a sequel to Immortals Fenyx Rising. It is supposedly already in development. Here's the full rundown from Henderson:
Ubisoft was apparently pleased with the performance of 2020's Immortals Fenyx Rising, and I've been informed that a sequel is in development.
The title is in its pre-production stage and presumably in development by Ubisoft Quebec, who is also working on a new Assassin's Creed title.
Recently, the studio has been hiring talent for the title, but no other details have been provided.
One other game mentioned that sounds like it could be in with a chance for a Switch release, is a new 2.5D Prince of Persia game, apparently taking inspiration from the Ori series. This is notably a different game to the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake.
A second Prince of Persia title is reportedly in the works at Ubisoft, with Ubisoft Montpellier being involved in the project. The game was described as taking "inspiration from Ori" and will be a 2.5D game.
Additional details on this title were slim, but I hope to be able to reveal more shortly. Nonetheless, it does seem that Ubisoft is actively working on a second Prince of Persia title.
You can get the full rundown about everything Ubisoft is rumoured to be releasing in the future over on Xfire.

yeah, but it's still Ubisoft.
the company which its employees report has done nothing to change its culture of worker abuse.
just because it happens in other companies doesn't mean it's okay for Ubisoft to do it.
just because there's no such thing as ethical consumption, doesn't mean people should avoid buying with their conscience.
Geez.. let us full time workers actually finish a game. Huge back log now.
Great news. I loved Fenix
I really loved Fenyx Rising. The art direction, combat and the "climb anywhere" mechanics were so good. Went into the game with virtually zero expectations and I had a blast.
I never got around to buying the first one. It dropped in price considerably so fast after launch that I was just like "might as well wait for it to go even lower" but it's kinda just hovered around the same price range since so I haven't been tempted enough. Plus its title is still stupid.
This series(?) doesn't interest me at all. Looks like knockoff BOTW, to which we're getting a sequel for that game already. Maybe I'm wrong, though.
Please make Rayman 4.
I find that surprising. I liked it pretty well & played all the DLC, but I feel like it dropped in price even more quickly than normal Ubisoft games do. Which I thought meant Ubi didn't have much confidence in it.
Yes! Huge fan of Prince of Persia! I would definitely be interested in that one!
Immortals Fenyx Rising might have become my favorite game of all time. I spent about 110 hours on the main game and about halfway through the DLC Myths of the Easter Realms (a junior version of the main game).
This game is so good. I absolutely loved the story; one of the best story driven games that I personally have played. Well written, incredibly well voiced, funny, and quite bawdy at times.
For all those that still think the game is a BOTW clone or wannabe. While there are elements that are taken from that game, it has its own unique gameplay elements. I have never played a game which had such great combat and leveling up system. Loved constantly playing to get one more treasure chest.
My biggest complaint with the game is that some of the harder Vaults, later in the game, really became a huge turnoff. But that was a small aspect.
I didn't start playing until November of this past year. All the patches had been applied to the Switch version. The game really looked pretty and quite amazing. I had one tiny glitch in the entire time I played.
Great game and I am really looking forward to a sequel.
Man I loved the first one so much (still have a bit more to do actually as I'm at 40 hours). It was everything I wished BoTW was and more. The female version of Fenyx is forever endeared to my heart with the voice acting in it.
A new 2.5D game involving the Rayman dev team taking inspiration from Ori? Haven't played a Prince of Persia game before, but I'm already sold.
I would buy a sequel but honestly I have so much to get through already that finding the time to play it would be difficult.
2.5D prince of persia? Should be interesting.
@CharlieGirl most of us don't care about how they treat their employees, sad but true.
I still need to get around to the first one in my backlog. Guess I can add the sequel to my backlog, assuming this rumor is true.
Both would be welcome. I enjoyed fenyx and used to be a big Persia fan.
Cool! Been too busy with other games to pick up Immortals, but it's always on sale for dirt cheap. I will someday. I was under the impression the numbers weren't that good, so I'm glad it wasn't a total flop like Starlink after all. I've also never played Prince of Persia, but the series interests me. Might pick up the remake if it comes to Switch, and I do love me some 2D platformers. While I wouldn't describe my taste in games as "kiddie" like a certain @Anti-Matter haha, I definitely don't play mature games. So, more stuff like this from Ubisoft would be great! Just do a Rayman remastered trilogy and a new game, and I'm all set!
I'll buy the sequel
Just picked up the first game nice and cheap and I've been pleasantly surprised by how good it is so I'll definitely get the sequel, on a sale.
Also PoP game inspired by Ori.
Sold.
Preferred Fenyx to BOTW. No weapons breaking or annoying, unrealistic and ridiculous storms electrocuting you and your weapons, just a good game without the stupid frustrations of BOTW
@dcstud You just sold me on the game better than any review has. I'll buy it the next time it's on sale.
Edit - Just noticed Eneba selling a digital code for even cheaper than its normal sale price. I'll buy it in the next few days.
I really enjoyed Immortals Fenyx Rising and spent a lot of time with it. I would probably pick up a sequel, but not anytime soon. Too many other games I want to play.
@SteamEngenius, @dcstud, & @DiamondJim I liked BOTW more, but this is a great game for those that want more in that style.
I wish they’d call it ‘Gods & Monsters II” again
Bugisoft.
Love their IPs only the direction they go with their games i dont like.
I really hope they dont screw Splinter cell.
I loved the Ghost recon genre where my favorite (even with the bugs) the latest big update solved the bugs and added new storymode, that one did grabbed the Ghost recon genre.
Immortals Fenyx Rising is a great game and the Switch version was pretty decent. I liked the main story a lot, but the DLCs were less interesting. While the game does borrow heavily from Breath of the Wild, it nevertheless has its own identity and I definitely enjoyed my time with it.
Prince of Persia 2.5D… there was already such an effort on Xbox Live Arcade if I remember correctly - a remake of the first PoP game with graphics from The Sands of Time. Sounded interesting but I didn’t own an Xbox back then.
@Tandy255 Funny you say that. After finishing the main Immortals games I attempted about 6 different games in my backlog, but nothing was clicking with me. I finally decided to revisit BOTW (Played about 20 hours of it when it first came out on the Wii U), as I had bought it for the Switch. Got about 30 minutes in and thought I have to stop. If I keep playing I will never go back and start the Immortals DLC. Now I am trying to hurry up and get through the Immortals DLC (Easter Realms only) so I can get immersed in BOTW.
Fenyx Rising was really enjoyable! Base game was perfect for me and never needed in game purchases or DLC.....no matter how much they pushed it
Oh God, that charlatan and pseudo-"journalist" Tom Henderson has begun to infect Nintendo Life as well. I'm glad you put so much in quotation marks because everything that "man" says needs to be taken with a grain of salt. He's a grifter and a turd-stain on the industry.
This would be a great 3rd party title to showcase the eventual Switch successor so I sincerely hope it comes to a Nintendo system. Really enjoyed the first game so I'm pleased that a sequel is in the works.
@Slowdive It is stupid but you can now connect that to all your other accounts at the very least.
My favorite game of 2020 is getting a sequel this is a good news hope it will be as good as the first one or even better .
Mmm I did quite like this one! Some of those puzzles were so hard tho xx
This is great news. It's always good to look at a divisive game and see what you can improve upon to make it even better. Team Fortress 2 is a great example; instead of abandoning the series after the middling at best first game, they expanded upon it into one of the most iconic class-based shooters in history.
Do I think Fenyx will earn the same kinds of accolades? No, but if they look at the main criticisms and address them, it could be really special.
Just caved in and got season pass for £16......not bad for all the DLC....woop woop
please dont.................................................................................a
No more Ubisoft titles at launch, they drop price so fast it's not even funny.
I couldn't care less about their main games (Far Cry, Assassin's Creed, Tom Clancy's Whatever), but I usually love their "side games". The best ones were Child of Light and Valiant Hearts, but Immortals Fenyx Rising gave me similar "indie vibes". Prince of Persia has been one of my favorite series since the very first one (but Sands of Time is in my top 10 games of all time as well), so I'm looking forward to that, too.
Prince of Persia piques my interest. The originals are classics and it’s bizarre Ubisoft has sat on it this long. Still, given what’s come out about the company, I’ll likely pass.
@CharlieGirl It's hard to give a company another chance when they don't proactively show that they are aiming to fix things. They seems to just hope that people will forget and stop talking about it.
That said, I do love the idea of a Prince of Persia with the visual flair and tight controls of a Rayman game.
That 2.5d game inspired by Ori sounds incredible
Since Starlink is dead, I'd trust Ubi to apply that game engine to develop a new Starfox game. Touring Lylat with that engine would be fine by me.
Fenyx was great, would prefer any sequel to be a different mythos though, maybe south Aztec/Mayan, or Indian lure instead of a continuation of the same story.
Will keep an eye on it and maybe buy it later
I was surprised at how much I like Fenyx Rising. I'm interested in a sequel, but I still haven't gotten around to playing the DLC.
Yeah, Fenix was alright. Considerably better than I expected for a BOTW pretender. Not sure I'd play a follow-up, but who knows.
Well I'm glad. It was far better than it had any right to be. Hopefully, its good too.
I haven't finished Immortals yet (and have yet to play the dlc), but it was great. Good to hear that there might be a sequel. Hopefully on Switch, otherwise on Switch2. Prince of Persia might be interesting too. Maybe they use "Ubi framework" (engine behind Rayman origins and Valiant hearts)?
