Recently, rumors and early listings have sparked speculation about a potential release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows for Nintendo Switch 2. This news has generated a wave of excitement among fans of the legendary stealth-action franchise.
A PEGI Listing Sparks Speculation
The speculation began when the official website of PEGI (the European age rating board) briefly listed Assassin’s Creed Shadows as available on Nintendo Switch 2. Although this listing was later removed, it didn’t go unnoticed by fans and industry insiders.
Interestingly, this PEGI page placed Assassin’s Creed Shadows among the most viewed games on the website. Alongside listings for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC, Nintendo Switch 2 was also mentioned. But now, if you visit the game’s individual page, the Switch 2 version is missing. This could be due to confidentiality rules, where PEGI may be required to hide certain platform details until a game is officially announced.
Has Ubisoft Confirmed Anything Yet?
As of now, Ubisoft has not officially confirmed the release of Assassin’s Creed Shadows for Nintendo Switch 2. However, this doesn’t mean it won’t happen. Ubisoft is already developing Star Wars Outlaws for the upcoming console, which suggests the company is serious about supporting Nintendo’s next-generation hardware.
Positive Signs for a Switch 2 Release
Although Assassin’s Creed Shadows faced some challenges during development, it has received mostly positive reviews from both critics and players. Many praised its gameplay, storytelling, and technical improvements over previous titles. In fact, the game was recently ranked as the second best-selling title of the year in the U.S., proving its commercial success.
This strong performance increases the chances that Ubisoft may want to expand its reach by bringing the game to more platforms—including Switch 2.
Ubisoft’s New Strategy: Big Investments in Key Franchises
Ubisoft recently announced that it plans to invest more in its biggest franchises, especially Assassin’s Creed. In collaboration with Tencent, Ubisoft is forming a new subsidiary focused on expanding its major IPs to global markets and different gaming platforms.
This move indicates a strong desire to reach more players worldwide, and Nintendo’s next-gen console could be a major part of that strategy.
Nintendo Switch 2: A More Powerful Console for AAA Games
While Nintendo hasn’t yet revealed all the details about Switch 2, insiders and leaks suggest that it will be much more powerful than its predecessor. With upgraded hardware, it should be capable of running AAA games like Assassin’s Creed Shadows more smoothly.
This makes the possibility of a Switch 2 version even more realistic, especially if Ubisoft is planning to optimize their newer titles for the console.
Fans Are Hopeful
Although nothing is official yet, all signs point to a promising future for Ubisoft and Nintendo fans. The brief PEGI listing, the company’s interest in the platform, the confirmed development of Star Wars Outlaws for Switch 2, and Ubisoft’s new business plans—all of these make it highly likely that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will eventually land on Nintendo’s next console.
Final Thoughts
Even though Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed Assassin’s Creed Shadows for Nintendo Switch 2, the evidence so far gives fans plenty of reasons to be hopeful. With the game already a commercial success and Ubisoft aiming for bigger global reach, bringing this title to Switch 2 seems like a smart move—one that would be welcomed by millions of players.
