Assassin’s Creed Shadows confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2

Another rumored Nintendo Switch 2 is confirmed, with Ubisoft today officially announcing a port of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The port will be ready to go on December 2, 2025.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which only just launched in March, is the latest mainline entry in the action adventure franchise. This time around, dual protagonists Fujibayashi Naoe and Yasuke are featured in 16th-century Japan. The Nintendo Switch 2 version will support cross-progression and touchscreen usage on all menus – including world map, store, and hideout. All recent updates and free content drops are packed in with the exception of “Claws of Awaji”.

Those interested in the game can read the following overview:

Play as Naoe, a quick-witted shinobi, and use light, sound, and shadows to evade detection. Infiltrate enemy strongholds with many parkour options including the new grappling hook, distract guards with shuriken or smoke bombs, and assassinate your targets with your Hidden Blade. As the samurai Yasuke, use silent bow takedowns or unleash devastating melee combos with your katana or naginata.

Switch between these two heroes to adapt your strategy and experience feudal Japan through two radically different approaches – stealth and strength, shadows and steel.

Step into feudal Japan like never before! From majestic castle towns to serene shrines and sweeping countryside, Assassin’s Creed Shadows offers a breathtaking open world where dynamic seasons, shifting weather, and environmental destruction affect your tactical approach.

And, to get full immersion, experience the game through Japanese voiceover.

Experience a true next-gen leap with Assassin’s Creed Shadows, powered by the updated Anvil engine. Explore a world brought to life with ray-traced Global Illumination, real-time reflections, virtualized geometry, and dynamic wind and environmental particles.

From the shimmer of lantern light on rain-slick rooftops to the rustle of cherry blossoms in the wind, every detail is crafted to immerse you deeper into feudal Japan.
