Assassin's Creed Shadows Confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2: PEGI Listing Reveals Surprise Port

Introduction

Big news for Nintendo fans—Assassin's Creed Shadows is apparently making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. While Ubisoft has kept quiet on whether this highly anticipated title would be available on the next-gen Nintendo console, a recent update by PEGI, Europe’s game rating authority, seems to have accidentally let the cat out of the bag.

Assassin's Creed Shadows Is Headed to Nintendo Switch 2

In an unexpected twist, PEGI has listed Assassin's Creed Shadows for Nintendo Switch 2 alongside the already confirmed platforms—PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. This surprising update was spotted by users on the popular Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit, sparking excitement and speculation among fans.

The official PEGI game page doesn’t show anything out of the ordinary. However, the front page under the “most searched games” section clearly includes Nintendo Switch 2 as one of the platforms, adding fuel to the rumor fire.

Ubisoft Hasn't Confirmed—Yet

While PEGI’s listing is a strong indicator, Ubisoft has not yet officially confirmed Assassin's Creed Shadows for Nintendo's new console. The listing could be a premature update or even a mistake, but it’s certainly enough to get fans buzzing. Eurogamer has reportedly reached out to Ubisoft for clarification.

Star Wars Outlaws Also Coming—But Not at Launch

In related news, Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws is also set to release on the Nintendo Switch 2. However, it's not expected to be a launch title. According to announcements made during Japan’s Star Wars Celebration, the story-driven adventure will drop on September 4, 2025, with its first DLC arriving on May 15.

Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing and Accessories See Changes

Nintendo has officially addressed how US tariffs will influence the Switch 2’s pricing, particularly regarding accessories. While the base console price remains steady at $450, accessories have seen slight increases:

• Joy-Con 2 now priced at $95 (up $5)
• Switch 2 Pro Controller at $85
• Switch 2 Camera at $55

The Mario Kart World bundle with the console remains at $500, at least for now.
