Overview
- Associate game director Simon Lemay-Comtois says Year Two has no plan for a Claws of Awaji–sized expansion, with support shifting to larger, less frequent updates.
- The Nintendo Switch 2 release launches on December 2 and includes all current updates except Claws of Awaji, which is planned for February 2026, with cross-progression and touch controls.
- Ubisoft targets a stable 30fps in handheld and docked modes on Switch 2, adding DLSS upscaling and a bespoke VRR solution that remains active at 30fps.
- To hit performance goals on Switch 2, the port uses baked global illumination and adjusts LOD, draw distances, textures, and NPC density in busy areas.
- Lemay-Comtois says microtransactions fund free content like quests and systems updates, as the studio points to 'chunkier' drops following recent crossover-sized updates and notes the game is overperforming.
