Assassin’s Creed Shadows Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date Leaks

by

A recent leak suggests that *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* could be released on the Switch 2 on December 5, 2025. Although Nintendo hasn’t officially confirmed the game for its new console, several reports indicate it’s likely coming, and this leak provides a potential release date for fans.

Even though the release of the newest *Assassin’s Creed* game faced some hurdles and disagreements, it’s proven to be quite successful. *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* reached five million players in just four months, and one million players on its very first day. This makes it the second-most successful launch in the series’ history, and Ubisoft plans to continue supporting the game with more content.

New Leak Claims Assassin’s Creed Shadows Will Come to Switch 2 on December 5

A new report indicates that *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* will be released on Nintendo’s Switch 2 on December 5th. This follows a recent listing by a French retailer that hinted at a physical copy of the game for the new console. Dealabs, which investigated the leaks, has confirmed both the game’s existence on Switch 2 and the release date. Ubisoft plans to offer pre-orders for the Switch 2 version soon, with an announcement expected between now and November 7th.

The latest leak confirms that the Switch 2 version of *Shadows* will come on a Game-Key Card, as previously revealed. Nintendo has explained that using these cards makes it simpler for other game companies to develop for the console, but many players aren’t happy about it. A common concern is game ownership – people often buy physical copies to truly *own* the game. However, some industry experts believe this new technology can lower costs, simplify storage, and potentially even help preserve games for a longer period compared to traditional game cartridges.

Despite the recent issues with promotional game keys, this is an exciting time for Ubisoft’s stealth RPG series. Releasing *Shadows* on a new console could significantly expand its player base. Plus, there’s a lot of talk about a remake of *Assassin’s Creed Black Flag* potentially coming in 2026. While neither the remake nor the Switch 2 version of *Shadows* have been officially confirmed, fans should watch for announcements from Ubisoft.
