After months of speculation, Ubisoft has finally confirmed that Assassin's Creed Shadows will be coming to the Switch 2 platform.
The Switch 2 version of "Assassin's Creed: Shadows" will be released on December 2 and supports touch screen operation, making it easier for players to navigate menus, maps and their hideouts.
The Switch 2 version will include all updates launched on other platforms since the game was released, but does not include the Awaji Claws expansion pack. This DLC will not be launched on the Switch 2 platform until early 2026.
The Switch 2 version of "Assassin's Creed: Shadows" is priced at US$60, supports physical (key card) and digital versions, and supports Ubisoft Connect cross-progression, allowing players who started the game on other platforms to continue their game progress on Switch 2.
