- Switch 2 listing spotted for Assassin’s Creed Shadows
- A French retailer is publishing the game, but no price or date is attached.
- Appears to be a Game-Key Card release
A Nintendo Switch 2 version of Assassin’s Creed Shadows This seems quite likely now, as a fraudulent listing has appeared on a French retailer, and is still active at the time of writing.
Discovered by VGC, the ad is available for viewing on the French outlet Auchan. Naturally, you can’t buy or pre-order this possible version of the Switch 2 just yet, nor is any kind of price attached.
The production description (automatically translated from French to English) reads: “Experience Assassin’s Creed Shadows in a whole new way with Nintendo Switch 2!” It remains to be seen if this is just a fancy way of saying it’s coming to Nintendo’s console, or if the port will make use of custom Switch 2 features like gyroscope aiming or mouse controls.
Another thing to note, and something I can really see stopping some people from purchasing this version of the Switch 2, is that (based on the box design) it will be a Game-Key Card. This rather controversial method of delivering games means that it is not pre-installed on the cartridge, and essentially acts as a “key” to download the game once it has been inserted into the Switch 2.
That’s not unexpected. Switch port 2 Star Wars Outlaws It was also a Game-Key Card release. Of course, the box art featured on Auchan’s page could be a placeholder, and Ubisoft has yet to officially confirm its existence. Assassin’s Creed Shadows port. But the publisher seems determined to continue offering its games through Game-Key Cards.
Above all, I’m looking forward to seeing how well Assassin’s Creed Shadows could run on Switch 2. Star Wars Outlaws It was a very impressive port, and I can see Darkness being a similar story, although with the expected hardware-related stipulations.
