The gaming community is buzzing with rumors that Ubisoft is gearing up to unleash some seriously nostalgic titles on the Nintendo Switch in 2025. Among these legends, the fabulous Splinter Cell Blacklist and the whimsical Rayman 3 are reportedly on their way back to the console, giving gamers something to look forward to. Imagine playing timeless classics on your portable device, a dream come true for many fans of these franchises!
According to a Brazilian journalist, this move by Ubisoft is a strategic play to capture the robust player base of the Switch. While Nintendo is hard at work on its new console, they are looking to third-party publishers like Ubisoft to keep the Switch’s library lively and engaging for its players. This collaboration could lead to an influx of remasters, hooking in both old-school gamers and new recruits!

Studio Pierrot and Asahi Productions join forces to elevate anime quality with advanced animation techniques and state-of-the-art CGI, ensuring a thrilling viewing experience in upcoming projects.
Ubisoft’s Current Situation and Future Plans
However, it’s no secret that Ubisoft has been navigating through some turbulent waters lately. The sales figures for Star Wars Outlaws didn’t hit the target, resulting in a noticeable decline in the company’s stock prices. This chain reaction has led to the reassessment of their internal operations and, inevitably, delays in upcoming titles. One such victim of timing is Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which was originally set to drop on November 15, now pushed back to February 14, 2025. Meanwhile, the free-to-play shooter XDefiant hasn’t made the waves they envisioned but Ubisoft reassured fans it’s not shutting down anytime soon.
Enter Pedro Henrique Lutti Lippe, known for his insights as tvPH on YouTube, who claims that Ubisoft is actively working on remastering some old favorites for the Switch’s 2025 lineup. While details remain sparse, he confirmed that Splinter Cell Blacklist and Rayman 3: Hoodlum Havoc, originally dropped in 2003, are indeed on the list. The remaster of Rayman 3, however, might not be the same version that another team has rumored to be handling.
More Remasters to Come
Pedro didn’t stop there; he suggested that Nintendo is also collaborating with other major players like Bandai Namco and EA for more remastered games, indicating a vibrant future for Switch gaming. Not to mention, with titles like Donkey Kong Country Returns HD already in the pipeline, fans are certainly in for a treat. The possibility of revisiting nostalgic titles from the GameCube era adds fuel to the excitement.
While Pedro’s credibility can’t be questioned, it’s important to remember that these leaks need to be taken with a grain of salt. As we eagerly await more confirmations, 2025 could become a pivotal year for Switch owners, filled with the rich heritage of Ubisoft’s classic titles.
