As we enter the final months of 2025, several notable game releases are arriving on consoles. Among the surprises is *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, which is set to launch on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Ubisoft recently announced that the Japan-based installment of the Assassin’s Creed series will be coming to Nintendo’s newly released console. The game is scheduled to arrive on Switch 2 on December 2, 2025.
One exciting feature for Switch 2 players is cross-progression support. Nintendo confirmed that if you have existing save files on other platforms—such as PC, PS5, or Xbox Series X/S—you’ll be able to continue your progress seamlessly on the Switch 2. This makes it easy to jump right back into the game without starting over.
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* debuted earlier this year to generally positive reviews. At Shacknews, writer Aiden O’Brien praised the game for its beautifully realized world, enjoyable combat, and the compelling contrast between characters Yasuke and Naoe.
The title quickly became one of the fastest-selling entries in the series, surpassing 1 million units sold on its very first day. Fans of the franchise now have another reason to look forward to exploring its rich world on the Switch 2 this December.
