Assassin’s Creed Shadows PEGI Listing Adds Nintendo Switch 2 Platform

Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the highly anticipated entry in Ubisoft’s acclaimed franchise, continues to expand its reach following its successful launch on PC and current-generation consoles earlier this year.

In a recent development, Europe’s official video game age rating body, PEGI (Pan European Game Information), has updated its official website listing for Assassin’s Creed Shadows to now include the Nintendo Switch 2 among its supported platforms. Originally released in 2024, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has garnered significant attention for its dynamic open-world gameplay and historical setting.

The title’s addition to PEGI’s database under the categories of PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S was expected given its multi-platform launch strategy by Ubisoft.

However, the new listing for Nintendo Switch 2 marks a noteworthy update that could signal Ubisoft’s intent to bring its blockbuster series to Nintendo’s upcoming console. PEGI’s updated data was first observed on its official site, where Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ platform support now explicitly includes Nintendo Switch 2.

This update is significant, as PEGI serves as the authoritative age rating agency for video games distributed within Europe, and such amendments often precede or coincide with official publisher announcements.

In a statement reflected on the updated listing, PEGI categorizes the game in line with its content guidelines, ensuring European consumers remain informed about game suitability across platforms. While Ubisoft has not made a formal announcement regarding Assassin’s Creed Shadows for Nintendo Switch 2, the presence of the platform on the PEGI listing provides credible evidence of possible release plans.

Historically, PEGI updates have served as reliable indicators of upcoming platform releases, thanks to publisher-submitted ratings data being verified and published on public databases prior to official reveals. Since its initial launch, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has enjoyed commercial success and critical acclaim, reinforcing Ubisoft’s reputation as a leading publisher and developer in the global games industry.

The publisher’s support for Nintendo platforms has also grown in recent years, with titles such as Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Immortals Fenyx Rising demonstrating strong collaboration between Ubisoft and Nintendo. The inclusion of Nintendo Switch 2 on the PEGI platform list reflects the broader industry anticipation surrounding Nintendo’s next-generation hardware.

The Nintendo Switch 2, though yet to receive an official name or launch date at the time of publication, has already been the focus of keen interest from major publishers aiming to expand their reach in the hybrid console market. As of now, Ubisoft has not issued an official statement or press release confirming Assassin’s Creed Shadows for Nintendo Switch 2.

With PEGI’s updated listing, however, more information from both the publisher and Nintendo may be forthcoming in the near future.

For now, the updated PEGI data stands as the most authoritative signal yet that Assassin’s Creed Shadows could soon delight players on Nintendo’s next major gaming system.
