Assassin’s Creed Shadows is coming to Nintendo Switch 2

Assassin’s Creed: Shadows is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, according to a recently spotted PEGI rating. We already have a good idea of the games that will be launching for Switch 2 starting right from day 1 on June 5 through to holiday 2025 and even beyond – FromSoftware’s Switch 2 exclusive The Duskbloods has been slated for a 2026 launch. On top of a slew of all new Switch 2 exclusive titles from Nintendo, the Switch 2 Edition enhanced titles, and a collection of third-party ports, after Ubisoft confirmed the release date for its latest AAA Start Wars release last week it looks as though the latest entry in the long-running and beloved Assassin’s Creed series will be following along shortly.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows for Nintendo Switch 2

Previous to Nintendo officially unveiling Switch 2 in January, and thereafter before the early April Switch 2 Direct event, there were a slew of relatively reliable leaks and rumors suggesting Switch 2 was more than capable of handling major PS5 and Xbox Series S|X titles, and that several of them would indeed be seeing releases on Nintendo’s next-generation hardware.

While this was already a trend to some degree on Switch 1, and even before that, it appears as though Switch 2 will be hosting significantly more big-time AAA ports from the other two. Rumors previously suggested we could be seeing the new Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater on Switch 2, and even Grand Theft Auto VI, as well as Call of Duty, Fallout 4, and perhaps even Metaphor: ReFantazio, among others. We are still waiting for official confirmation on all of those titles, but many of the same leakers and rumors also suggested Ubisoft would be getting busy with Switch 2 ports this year, and that has already officially begun.

Last week, as part of the celebration in the lead up to May the 4th 2025 (Star Wars Day), Ubisoft officially announced that Star Wars Outlaws will be landing on Switch 2 come September 4, 2025.

Fast forward to this weekend, and an official PEGI rating for Assassin’s Creed Shadows was spotted specifically stating the 18+ rating and mentioning the following platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.

The image seen below is still sitting on the PEGI homepage (at the time of writing), however when you click through there is no mention of Switch 2.

This certainly isn’t official confirmation, but it has lead many to believe a game that was already expected to make its way to Switch 2 is indeed going to at some point, and likely sooner than later.
