Assassin’s Creed Shadows Updates: Ubisoft Teases Expansion to New Platforms, Hints at Nintendo Switch 2 Support

Ubisoft is once again making waves in the gaming industry, as the seasoned publisher signals a major expansion for its celebrated action-adventure series, Assassin’s Creed.

During a recent investor call, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot announced that Assassin’s Creed Shadows—the latest entry in the long-running franchise—will make its way to “other machines,” sparking widespread interest regarding upcoming platform support.

This update arrives on the heels of official PEGI ratings that reference a Nintendo Switch 2 version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, further fueling anticipation among fans and analysts alike. Assassin’s Creed Shadows, developed by Ubisoft, continues the series’ tradition of immersive storytelling and historically rich environments, garnering critical praise since its announcement.

Initial releases for the game target core platforms, but the company’s intention to broaden its footprint to additional hardware is now confirmed via executive communication.

Yves Guillemot, addressing investors, reaffirmed the publisher’s drive to make its flagship games more accessible, stating that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will soon appear on different devices beyond its previously announced lineup. When pressed about Ubisoft’s broader strategy for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2—particularly in the wake of Star Wars Outlaws’ release—Guillemot chose not to disclose specific details.

"We’re not ready to discuss future plans for the Nintendo Switch 2 at this time," he conveyed, emphasizing the company's measured approach regarding new announcements and platform commitments.

Despite persistent rumors and insider reports, official confirmation regarding titles like Assassin’s Creed Mirage launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 remains unaddressed by Ubisoft's executive leadership. Ubisoft’s track record of supporting Nintendo platforms is well established, with a robust lineup available through the eShop and frequent features during Nintendo Direct presentations.

The PEGI rating for Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Nintendo Switch 2 hints at ongoing collaboration and a strong future presence on Nintendo’s next-generation console.

These developments come at a pivotal moment for both Ubisoft and Nintendo, as the Switch platform—renowned for its widespread adoption and diverse software library—prepares for a hardware evolution expected to energize the global gaming community. With a release window for Assassin’s Creed Shadows set and the game’s expansion to additional hardware platforms now public knowledge, industry watchers anticipate further updates during upcoming showcases and direct broadcasts.

Ubisoft’s sustained commitment to cross-platform releases cements its position as one of the industry’s leading publishers, poised to deliver high-profile titles like Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Star Wars Outlaws to a broadening gamer base across platforms such as PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch 2. Stay tuned for further news as Ubisoft shares more about its Nintendo Switch 2 roadmap and the evolving landscape for major multi-platform game releases.
