Ubisoft Teases More Assassin's Creed Shadows Releases — Switch 2 Version Still Unconfirmed

Ubisoft Suggests Assassin's Creed Shadows May Expand to New Platforms

Ubisoft has sparked fresh speculation in the gaming community by hinting at "new versions" of Assassin's Creed Shadows coming to other gaming systems. However, during a recent financial earnings call, the company's leadership stopped short of confirming if Nintendo's highly anticipated Switch 2 is among those platforms, fueling ongoing rumors and debate.

Assassin's Creed Shadows: The Current State

Since its launch in March, Assassin's Creed Shadows has enjoyed a "very good start," according to Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot. This new title continues the franchise's tradition of combining historical intrigue with immersive open world gameplay. The game roadmap is just getting started, as the "Claws of Awaji" expansion is set to arrive before the end of the current financial quarter, offering fresh content for both series veterans and newcomers.

Looking Forward: New Versions on the Horizon

The biggest question for fans: which platforms will receive Assassin's Creed Shadows next? During the call, Guillemot shared that "new versions [of the game] that will come on other machines" are in the pipeline. While he avoided specifics, the mention has led many to hope for a Switch 2 announcement, especially as Ubisoft has a longstanding history of supporting Nintendo platforms. Notable releases such as Assassin’s Creed III, Black Flag, and The Ezio Collection have all made their way to Nintendo systems, with the Switch seeing a surge of remastered and collection titles in recent years.

Why Switch 2 Is a Likely Contender

While Assassin’s Creed Shadows and other recent series entries have so far skipped the Nintendo Switch due to hardware limitations, the expected performance boost of the Switch 2 could change the game. Industry chatter and leaks have pointed toward the Switch 2 finally being able to handle bigger, expansive open world games like Assassin’s Creed. This shift aligns with Ubisoft’s track record: they've often released major franchise titles within the launch window of new Nintendo hardware.

More Ubisoft Releases and Unannounced Switch 2 Titles

Ubisoft CFO Frédérick Duguet added to the intrigue by revealing that the company has "a couple of other titles to announce" for release before March 2026. Importantly, he confirmed at least one unannounced game will debut on Switch 2 within that timeline. While Star Wars Outlaws is already confirmed for Nintendo's next-gen platform, Duguet’s comments signal more exclusive or high-profile releases could be on the way.

Market Impact and What Fans Should Watch For

Assassin’s Creed’s potential arrival on Switch 2 marks a significant milestone for the franchise’s presence on portable systems. Past entries, such as The Ezio Collection and Assassin’s Creed III Remastered, have broadened the series' audience—making a major new release on next-gen Nintendo hardware both a technical achievement and a strategic boon for Ubisoft. For tech-savvy gamers, this expansion could finally deliver the full open world Assassin’s Creed experience on a portable device.

Final Thoughts: Will Assassin’s Creed Shadows Launch on Switch 2?

For now, Ubisoft is keeping its cards close to its chest, refusing to officially confirm or deny Assassin's Creed Shadows for Switch 2. However, with the company’s pattern of supporting Nintendo hardware and the high expectations for the Switch 2’s upgraded specs, fans and industry experts are watching closely for further announcements. Until then, anticipation remains high for what could be a landmark release in the Assassin's Creed saga and the broader portable gaming market.
