Overview
- On October 13, outlets reported that French retailer Auchan briefly posted a Switch 2 product page for Assassin's Creed Shadows with Game‑Key Card branding and no release date.
- The retailer listing was later removed, and Ubisoft has not issued an announcement confirming a Switch 2 version.
- PEGI updated its website in April to include Switch 2 among the game's platforms, offering an early official indicator.
- In July, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said the game would see "some new versions" on other machines, adding to expectations of a port.
- The Game‑Key Card label suggests purchasers would initiate a download rather than play from a full cartridge, a compromise developers have linked to engines that rely on disk streaming for large worlds.
