While the excitement continues about which platforms Assassin's Creed Shadows, the highly anticipated new game in the Assassin's Creed series, will be released on, an unexpected platform name has caused a stir. A piece of information that briefly appeared on the website of the European game rating agency PEGI led to speculation that the game could also be released for the Nintendo Switch 2. Although there has been no official statement from Ubisoft yet, this leak has especially excited Nintendo fans.
Surprise Statement Appears on PEGI Homepage
In the gaming world, rating agencies can sometimes provide early information about unreleased games. This time, the fact that Assassin's Creed Shadows was listed on PEGI's homepage as "Nintendo Switch 2" drew attention. Although this information was not available on the game's own special page, this brief detail on the homepage was enough to pique players' curiosity. The other platforms on the list were PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Ubisoft's Previous Switch 2 Support Raises Hopes
It is known that Ubisoft has previously confirmed a Nintendo Switch 2 version for the Star Wars Outlaws game. This strengthens the possibility that Assassin's Creed Shadows could follow a similar path. If the PEGI leak is true, this development could mean an important step for Nintendo's next-generation console. Especially the presence of a high-budget and visually ambitious game like Assassin's Creed on the Switch 2 platform can be interpreted as a strong sign about the console's hardware capabilities.
Leaks Must Be Approached Cautiously
Although such leaks create excitement, it should not be forgotten that sites like PEGI can sometimes make technical errors. Therefore, it is useful to approach this information with caution until an official statement is made by Ubisoft. However, past examples also show that such early leaks often turn out to be true. As gamers, our eyes are now turned to Ubisoft's possible statements on this issue.
Promising Developments Regarding Third-Party Support for Switch 2
Although it is not yet certain whether Assassin's Creed Shadows will come to Switch 2, even this small detail paints a promising picture in terms of the support the console will receive from third-party developers. The fact that Nintendo's next-generation console Switch 2 is talked about so much before it has even been officially announced may indicate the company's claim and potential in the next generation. If this leak is confirmed, Switch 2 users will have the opportunity to experience a high-quality and popular game on their portable devices.
