Ubisoft has officially unveiled its detailed post-launch plans for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, including a confirmed release date for the highly anticipated Claws of Awaji downloadable content (DLC) on Nintendo Switch 2.
This update comes as welcome news to Switch players who have awaited parity with other platforms following the game's staggered launch earlier this year. Assassin’s Creed Shadows, developed and published by Ubisoft, marks the latest entry in the long-running action-adventure franchise.
The game builds upon the series’ acclaimed stealth mechanics and open-world exploration, introducing players to a richly detailed setting inspired by Japan’s Sengoku period.
While Assassin’s Creed Shadows debuted on major platforms to strong sales and critical interest, the Nintendo Switch 2 version experienced a delayed release, launching after other consoles.
This delay left fans eager for news regarding future downloadable content and support on their platform of choice. In its latest roadmap announcement, Ubisoft confirmed that Nintendo Switch 2 players will be able to access the Claws of Awaji DLC on March 10.
The expansion promises fresh story content, new missions, and additional customization options to further enrich the Assassin’s Creed Shadows experience.
Ubisoft emphasized its commitment to supporting the Nintendo community, emphasizing consistent and timely updates across all available platforms.
"We’re excited to bring the Claws of Awaji DLC to Nintendo Switch 2 players, ensuring everyone can experience the full breadth of new adventures coming to Assassin’s Creed Shadows,” a Ubisoft representative stated in the release. Since its global launch, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has achieved strong engagement metrics, bolstered by its presence on platforms including PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.
The game continues to benefit from Ubisoft’s frequent content updates and live-service model, which encourages ongoing participation through both free and premium expansions.
For players accessing the game via the Nintendo eShop on Switch 2, the March 10 release of Claws of Awaji will mark the expansion’s debut on the platform, aligning Switch owners with their counterparts on other systems. Ubisoft’s support for the Nintendo Switch 2 reflects the growing importance of the console within the publisher’s multi-platform strategy.
