Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Release Date
Rumors in the gaming world? They spread faster than a hidden blade swing. And right now, everyone’s whispering about Assassin’s Creed Shadows making its way to the upcoming Switch 2. Yeah, Ubisoft’s next big stealth adventure might just drop on Nintendo’s shiny new console this year.
So here’s the deal: according to Billbil-kun from Dealabs claims Shadows will release on December 5th, 2025. That’s right before Christmas, which honestly feels like perfect timing for anyone looking to disappear into feudal Japan for the holidays.
Billbil-kun (@billbil_kun) recently shared on X revealed the release date for Assassin's Creed Shadows on the Nintendo Switch 2.
The funny twist? Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is apparently hitting shelves one day earlier, on December 4th. Yeah, talk about two titans clashing back-to-back. Ubisoft probably isn’t thrilled about stepping onto Nintendo’s battlefield a day after one of its crown jewels, but hey, that’s the games industry for you; timing’s always a gamble.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The alleged Switch 2 box art (floating around online, of course) hints that Shadows might be a Game-Key Card version, meaning no real game data on the cartridge. You’ll still need to download the full thing. Classic 2020s move, honestly.
Still, let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. Until Ubisoft says something official, everything’s just speculation and screenshots. But if this leak’s legit, December’s shaping up to be one wild month for Switch 2 owners — stealth missions one day, space exploration the next.
