While we’ve known that Just Dance 2017 is one of the few titles actually confirmed for the Switch, Mr. Guillemont has hinted in a recent Facebook post that there is another, unannounced title being worked on by Ubisoft for the Switch which will “surprise you a lot”.

“With the Switch’s unique capacities and design, Nintendo could again redefine the way we play games! The Switch is accessible at its core and will give people the freedom and the pleasure to share more experiences and play anywhere at anytime. The Ubisoft teams developing games for the Switch are inspired by these new possibilities, and I’m really happy that we’re able to continue doing great things with Nintendo. In addition to Just Dance 2017, I think there’s at least one game that will definitely surprise you!”

An interesting statement, to be sure. Only time will tell what this title turns out to be.
