New Developments: Assassin’s Creed Shadows for Nintendo Switch 2
The Pan-European Game Information (PEGI) system has recently made a significant update that could imply the highly anticipated game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, is set to launch on the Nintendo Switch 2. This title, heralded as a new chapter in the Assassin’s Creed franchise featuring a backdrop of feudal Japan, is already projected to be among the top sellers of 2025.
According to Eurogamer, the PEGI website was recently updated to reflect the inclusion of the Switch 2 in its list of platforms for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. However, this information is only visible through the “Most Searched Games”section on the homepage; a direct search for AC Shadows does not yield this update. PEGI, akin to the ESRB in the United States, assesses games to recommend appropriate age ratings, which can often lead to early disclosures about new releases or game ports as developers must submit information for rating prior to a game launch.
What This Means for Gamers
Should the PEGI listing prove accurate, it would mark a significant expansion for the Assassin’s Creed franchise, allowing it to reach a broader audience through the Switch’s popular platform. Fans of action-adventure games are particularly eager to see how the gameplay mechanics will adapt to the unique capabilities of the Switch 2.
This potential launch reflects a growing trend in the gaming industry where major titles are increasingly designed to accommodate portable gaming systems, tapping into a market hungry for high-quality experiences on the go. As the official announcement awaits from Ubisoft, excitement continues to build among the gaming community.
