As we enter the final months of 2025, a wave of exciting game releases is hitting consoles. Among these is a surprise announcement: *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2.
This week, Ubisoft revealed that the new Japan-based entry in the Assassin’s Creed series will be available on Nintendo’s recently launched console. The game is set to arrive on the Switch 2 on December 2, 2025.
One of the standout features announced is cross-progression support. Nintendo confirmed that players with save files on other platforms—such as PC, PS5, or Xbox Series X/S—will be able to pick up right where they left off. This makes transitioning to the Switch 2 version seamless, without the need to start the game from scratch.
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* originally launched earlier this year and received positive reviews. Here at Shacknews, writer Aiden O’Brien praised it for its beautifully realized world, engaging combat, and the interesting contrast between the character styles of Yasuke and Naoe.
The game quickly became one of the fastest-selling titles in the series, achieving an impressive milestone of over 1 million units sold on its very first day. With its upcoming release on the Switch 2, more players will soon get the chance to experience this acclaimed adventure.
