Ubisoft has announced that the long-rumoured Assassin’s Creed Shadows port will be available on Nintendo Switch 2 on 2nd December.
This version of the game will include touch screen support for navigating maps, menus and the hideout builder. At launch, the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows will include all content updates introduced since the game’s release, with the ‘Claws of Awaji’ expansion arriving early next year.
Charles Benoit, Game Director of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, said:
“We are delighted to bring Assassin’s Creed Shadows to Nintendo players. Whether slipping through the shadows as Naoe or facing foes head-on as Yasuke, players will be able to roam the streets and rooftops of feudal Japan at home or anywhere their journey takes them on Nintendo Switch 2.”
Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be £49.99 either in a physical edition including a Nintendo Switch 2 game-key card or through a download from the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2. The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows will support cross-progression across all platforms through Ubisoft Connect, a very handy feature for those who already own it elsewhere.
Check out the trailer below. It looks kinda… great? I don’t know about you, but I was not expecting it to look this smooth and clean on the Switch 2, but if the trailer’s anything to go by then I’ll happily be wrong!
Assassin’s Creed Shadows will release on Nintendo Switch 2 on December 2. It’s available now on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
