A report from Dealabs reveals that, through their investigations, they have confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will arrive for the Nintendo Switch 2 on December 5, 2025. The game will also receive a physical version, but it will be on a game key card, meaning players will have to download it to their console.
The pre-order date for AC Shadows on Switch 2 hasn’t been confirmed, but according to their data, it should begin by November 7. Lastly, the price for the Switch 2 port has been revealed, and it seems the game can be purchased for around €50, with some retailers offering promotional offers.
For those unaware, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set in feudal Japan, where players step into the shoes of 2 heroes, Naoe and Yasuke, and experience the story from 2 perspectives. Naoe is a quick-witted shinobi who excels in stealth and shadows. At the same time, Yasuke is a formidable samurai with expertise in strength and steel.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows has also already received its Claws of Awaji DLC, which adds 10 hours of content to the game, along with a new weapon, skills, and abilities. Naoe and Yasuke embark on a new adventure to secure an object for Japan’s future.
