Assassin’s Creed: Shadows is likely to be coming to Nintendo Switch 2, and Ubisoft executives might need simply confirmed it.
Throughout at the moment’s quarterly earnings name, CEO Yves Guillemot and CFO Frederick Duguet mixed their powers to present various delicate and not-so-subtle hints and statements about Assassin’s Creed: Shadows that, when mixed, are exhausting to learn every other means than affirmation we’re getting a Switch 2 launch of the sport sooner or later this fiscal yr.
First, Duguet talked about that Ubisoft’s line-up for the present fiscal yr (ending on the finish of March 2026) consists of, amongst different issues, “a few different titles” that shall be “introduced at a later stage.”
Later in the identical name, in response to an investor query, he additionally stated “And we even have a recreation that shall be launched on the Switch 2.” Whereas we already know that Star Wars: Outlaws is coming to Switch 2, Duguet was speaking about video games “past the introduced releases”, so it is clear there’s not less than one different.
Later within the name, Guillemot added one other piece to the puzzle. In a dialog with one other investor particularly concerning Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, he stated, “And we now have additionally some new variations that may come on different machines.”
Presently, Assassin’s Creed: Shadows is out there on PlayStation 5, Xbox Sequence X and S, PC and Mac, in addition to GeForce Now and Amazon Luna. Now, it is potential Guillemot was referring to different platforms, akin to PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, or perhaps even cellular. However probably the most probably chance is that he meant Nintendo Switch 2, particularly when mixed with Duguet’s feedback.
In fact, some investor thought the identical as us. The final query on the decision, to Duguet, immediately requested if Assassin’s Creed: Shadows was being introduced for Nintendo Switch 2.
However right here, Duguet lastly danced round it. “We’ve not stated which different video games will come on the console for that coming yr.”
Rumors to this effect have already been in motion for a few months now, after an Assassin’s Creed: Shadows for Nintendo Switch 2 bought a PEGI ranking. Whereas this might have simply been an error, it is simply one other brick within the mounting tower of proof that Shadows is headed to Nintendo’s system within the subsequent eight months or so.
