- A Switch 2 listing for Assassin’s Creed Shadows has been spotted
- A French retailer is offering the game, but no price or date is attached.
- It appears to be a version of Game-Key Card
A Nintendo Switch 2 version of Shadows of Assassin’s Creed This seems quite likely now, as a malicious ad has appeared at a French retailer, and it is still online as of this writing.
Spotted by VGC, the listing is visible at Auchan in France. Naturally, you can’t buy or pre-order this potential Switch 2 release yet – and there’s no price tag attached.
The description of the production (automatic translation from French to English) states: “Experience Shadows of Assassin’s Creed in a whole new way with Nintendo Switch 2! » It remains to be seen whether this is just a fancy way of saying it will come to Nintendo’s console, or whether the port will use bespoke Switch 2 features like gyroscopic aiming or mouse controls.
Another thing to note – and something I really see turning some people off from purchasing this Switch 2 version – is that (according to the box art) this will be a game key card. This rather controversial method of delivering games means that it doesn’t come pre-installed on the cartridge, essentially acting as a “key” to download the game once it’s been inserted into the Switch 2.
This is not unexpected. The Switch 2 port of Star Wars Outlaws was also a Game-Key Card version. Of course, the visual of the box presented on the Auchan page could be a placeholder, and Ubisoft has not yet officially confirmed its existence. Shadows of Assassin’s Creed port. But the publisher seems determined to continue offering its games via Game-Key Cards.
Above all, I can’t wait to see how Shadows of Assassin’s Creed could work on Switch 2. Star Wars Outlaws was a very impressive port, and I can see Shadows it’s a similar story, but with the expected hardware-related stipulations.
