As we approach the final months of 2025, several notable game releases are hitting consoles. Among these is a surprise announcement for Nintendo fans: **Assassin’s Creed Shadows** is coming to the **Nintendo Switch 2**.
This week, Ubisoft revealed that the new Japan-based Assassin’s Creed title will arrive on Nintendo’s recently launched console on **December 2, 2025**. This exciting news brings the acclaimed game to a broader audience, allowing Switch 2 owners to experience the unique world and gameplay Assassin’s Creed Shadows offers.
One of the standout features Ubisoft highlighted is **cross-progression**. If you already have save files on other platforms—such as PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X/S—you’ll be able to pick up right where you left off on the Switch 2. This seamless experience means players won’t need to start from scratch when switching between devices.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows originally launched earlier this year to positive reviews. Shacknews writer Aiden O’Brien praised it as a “beautifully realized world” featuring engaging combat and an intriguing contrast between the characters Yasuke and Naoe. The game quickly became one of the fastest-selling titles in the Assassin’s Creed series, selling over 1 million units on its first day of release.
With its upcoming release on the Switch 2, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is poised to reach even more players eager to explore its captivating story and immersive gameplay this holiday season.
