Today, Ubisoft announced that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be available on Nintendo Switch™ 2 on December 2, 2025. Optimized for all play modes, the Nintendo Switch 2 version will let players enjoy the game seamlessly at home or on the go. It will also include touch screen support, making navigation of menus, maps and the hideout more intuitive than ever.

At launch, the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows will include all content updates introduced since the game’s release, with only the ‘Claws of Awaji’ expansion arriving early next year.

“We are delighted to bring Assassin’s Creed Shadows to Nintendo players,” said Charles Benoit, Game Director of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. “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.”

Nintendo Switch 2 owners can purchase the Standard Edition of the game for $59.99 on launch day either in a physical edition including a Nintendo Switch 2 game-key card or through a download from the Nintendo eShop. The Premium Edition (digital only) is $99.99. The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows will support cross-progression across all platforms through Ubisoft Connect, ensuring players can continue their journey seamlessly across platforms.

With development led by Ubisoft Quebec*, Assassin’s Creed Shadows embarks players on a captivating journey through feudal Japan, featuring a richly detailed and immersive world powered by the enhanced Anvil engine. Players take on the dual roles of Naoe, a stealthy shinobi Assassin, and Yasuke, a powerful samurai warrior, each offering distinct skills and abilities. They can seamlessly switch between the two as they master their complementary playstyles, uncover their shared destiny and usher in a new era for Japan.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is currently available on Ubisoft+, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation^®5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Amazon Luna, Macs with Apple silicon via the Mac App Store as well as Windows PC through the Ubisoft Store, Steam and the Epic Games Store.
