Assassin’s Creed Shadows Listed for Switch 2 on PEGI, Signaling Ubisoft’s Continued Support

Ubisoft’s long-standing collaboration with Nintendo appears set to continue, as recent developments indicate that Assassin’s Creed Shadows may be heading to the Nintendo Switch 2.

The speculation comes after a new listing for the latest entry in the acclaimed Assassin’s Creed franchise appeared on PEGI's (Pan European Game Information) official website, suggesting the game could soon arrive on Nintendo’s upcoming hybrid platform.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows, developed by Ubisoft, launched in March 2025 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, and was awarded an 18 rating by PEGI due to its mature themes, graphic violence, and in-game purchase options.

The title is notable for immersing players in ancient feudal Japan, following the intertwined stories of Naoe, a shinobi, and Yasuke, an African samurai—marking a milestone in representation for the series.

According to PEGI’s official guidance, the mature rating has been attributed to depictions of intense violence, including decapitation, dismemberment, and actions against defenseless characters, as well as the presence of in-game purchases through cosmetic bundles and premium currency. Although the PEGI main page displays the Nintendo Switch 2 as a supported platform for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, there is currently no further detail available on the ratings subpage related specifically to Nintendo’s next-generation console.

Industry observers note that similar listings often precede formal announcements, though no official confirmation from Ubisoft or Nintendo has been released at the time of reporting.

Ubisoft has a precedent for strong support of Nintendo hardware, famously bringing popular franchises to earlier platforms via the eShop and featuring announcements in previous Nintendo Directs. Described as an action role-playing game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows pushes the franchise forward not only in setting and narrative but also in gameplay mechanics, allowing for stealth, intense combat, and character-driven decision-making.

The PEGI notes emphasize the presence of morally challenging gameplay elements, including hostage executions and ritualized acts such as seppuku—details present within the historical framework of feudal Japan and integral to the game's authentic storytelling. The prospect of Assassin’s Creed Shadows becoming available on Switch 2 underlines Ubisoft’s dedication to bringing flagship experiences to the Nintendo ecosystem.

With Switch 2’s anticipated advancements in hardware capability, fans may look forward to playing AAA titles like this one with enhanced performance and fidelity.

For now, enthusiasts and industry professionals alike await official statements regarding the game’s availability on Nintendo’s next-generation console. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.

Stay tuned to official channels and upcoming Nintendo Direct announcements for confirmation and additional details on its potential Switch 2 release.
