Assassin's Creed Shadows parkours onto Switch 2

Grab those hidden blades, brother. Assassin's Creed Shadows is now available on Nintendo Switch 2, which feels wild to type. It will take up a lot of space, over 60GB in fact, but just it making it to the handheld is impressive. We have it ourselves and will have impressions up soon, so until then, check out our review from earlier in the year to learn more about the contents of Shadows!

SAN FRANCISCO – DECEMBER 2, 2025 – Today, Ubisoft is launching Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Nintendo Switch™ 2, bringing the epic adventure of Naoe and Yasuke in feudal Japan to Nintendo players.

The Nintendo Switch™ 2 version has been carefully optimized to preserve the richness of Shadows’ experience while embracing the freedom of playing anywhere, anytime. At launch, players will have access to all free post-release content, including the Attack on Titan exclusive mission available until December 22. The Claws of Awaji expansion will be coming early 2026.

On Nintendo Switch™ 2, Assassin’s Creed Shadows introduces several Switch‑specific features designed making player’s experience seamless and intuitive. These include touchscreen navigation for menus and maps, targets 30fps for smooth gameplay in docked and handheld modes, offline play after download, and a game-key card physical edition for digital installation.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows offers cross-progression via Ubisoft Connect, letting players continue their journey seamlessly across all platforms. In-game store content is unified across platforms, so items purchased on Nintendo Switch™ 2 are shared with linked accounts. The game will be available for $59.99 on the Nintendo Store.
