Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the current sensation in the gaming world. Since this game was released, it has covered almost every failure of Ubisoft from the past few years. With its portrayal of 16th-century feudal Japan and dual protagonists, AC Shadows has garnered significant attention from gamers worldwide.
The title has been hugely praised for its rich narrative and expansive open-world design. Therefore, naturally, Nintendo Switch gamers also want it, and the latest speculations reveal that this desire may come true with the release of Nintendo Switch 2. After several delays, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is already running gloriously.
While PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S gamers have been experiencing this thrilling in-game journey , it looks like Switch 2 players won’t be deprived of it for long. The most transfixing evidence that suggests this fact is the brief listing of the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows on the Pan European Game Information (PEGI) website. As per the current reports, PEGI has listed Assassin’s Creed Shadows, and under that, in the platform section, it has registered PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2.
The rumor of Assassin’s Creed Shadows coming to Nintendo Switch 2 has been in the air for a long time. However, this rating marks the first concrete piece of evidence that this port is probably happening. As of now, Ubisoft hasn’t stated anything regarding the Nintendo Switch 2 port of AC Shadows .
Therefore, officially, it's not yet confirmed. However, the listing on a reputable platform like PEGI lends it some credibility. PEGI, in particular, is responsible for several recent Ubisoft leaks.
Additionally, PEGI’s listings are especially reliable because they are based on official submissions from game publishers. However, the absence of the Switch 2 version on the game’s official page suggests that it can be an oversight or an unintentional leak. Anyway, there’s a chance that Ubisoft is preparing a port for the next-gen Nintendo Switch console.
As of now, only one Ubisoft game is officially announced to come on Nintendo Switch 2 , and that’s Star Wars Outlaws. It will hit the Nintendo Switch 2 store on September 4. However, players want Assassin's Creed Mirage and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege to come to Switch 2.
Now, AC Shadows has also joined the list. The wait for Nintendo Switch 2 has become more exciting with these games rumored to join the lineup. Ubisoft and Nintendo platforms have a long and glorious history.
Ubisoft never hesitated to support Nintendo consoles, even at those times when other major publishers were stepping back. Therefore, titles like ZombiU and Assassin’s Creed: The Rebel Collection have demonstrated this French video game developer company’s commitment to supporting Nintendo. Analyzing this trend, it is possible that Ubisoft would extend this support to Switch 2, especially considering the console's anticipated capabilities and the success of Assassin’s Creed Shadows on other platforms.
The upcoming Switch 2 port of Star Wars Outlaws shows that this company is actively developing games to meet Switch 2’s criteria. In that case, it can use it as a strategy to maximize the success of Assassin’s Creed Shadows by making it available on all the major platforms. For Nintendo Switch 2 gamers, it is indeed a ray of hope that PEGI has listed Assassin’s Creed Shadows for Nintendo Switch 2, but one must approach this news with cautious optimism.
Ubisoft has made no official announcement regarding any Switch 2 port of AC Shadows, and the absence of an update from the publisher means the game may or may not come to Switch 2. The decision hasn’t yet been made, but it's still in a speculative stage. Anyway, if one goes through Ubisoft’s history with Nintendo platforms, the recent development rumors don’t seem completely absurd.
So, the expectation of getting Assassin’s Creed Shadows makes sense. As the Nintendo Switch 2 release date approaches, gamers have been curiously looking forward to knowing whether AC Shadows will join the gaming lineup or not..
