As we enter the final months of 2025, several exciting game releases are hitting consoles. Among the surprises is **Assassin’s Creed Shadows** coming to the Nintendo Switch 2.
This week, Ubisoft announced that the new Japan-based Assassin’s Creed title will be available on Nintendo’s recently launched console. Fans can look forward to playing **Assassin’s Creed Shadows** on the Switch 2 starting December 2, 2025.
In addition, Nintendo revealed that the game will support cross-progression. This means that if you have save files from other platforms—such as PC, PS5, or Xbox Series X/S—you’ll be able to continue your progress seamlessly on the Switch 2. This feature makes it easy for players to jump into the game without having to start over.
**Assassin’s Creed Shadows** originally released earlier this year to positive reviews. Shacknews writer Aiden O’Brien praised the game for its beautifully realized world, engaging combat, and the intriguing contrast between the characters Yasuke and Naoe.
The title quickly became one of the fastest-selling games in the Assassin’s Creed series, selling over 1 million units on its very first day of release.
With its Switch 2 launch on the horizon, fans new and old have plenty to look forward to this December.
