Assassin’s Creed Shadows Launches on Switch 2 December 2 With Cross-Progression and Touch Controls

The release follows a fall roadmap with major updates in late October and November.

Overview

  • Ubisoft and Nintendo officially announced the Switch 2 version with a December 2, 2025 date alongside a new trailer.
  • The Switch 2 build includes all recent free updates at launch, while the paid Claws of Awaji expansion arrives on the platform in early 2026.
  • Cross-progression via Ubisoft Connect allows players to continue save data from PS5, Xbox Series, PC, Mac, or Luna.
  • Touchscreen interaction is supported for menus, the world map, the store, and the hideout.
  • Physical units use a game-key card; most reports list a $59.99 price, though at least one outlet cites $79.99, leaving MSRP reporting inconsistent.
