Assassin’s Creed Shadows Switch 2 Release Date and Price Leak Points to December Launch
October 15, 2025Assassin’s Creed Shadows is heading to Switch 2 on December 5, 2025. That’s according to a leak from the well-known insider billbil-kun, who has a habit of outing gaming news well before the official word drops. Ubisoft hasn’t announced the Switch 2 version yet, but at this stage, it’s looking all but confirmed.
Both digital and physical editions will be available on Nintendo’s next console, with the boxed copy arriving as a Game-Key card. The price? The leak pegs it at €50 in Europe. If that’s anything like similar Switch 2 releases, think Sonic X Shadow Generations, that should translate to $50 in the US and £45 in the UK, though those prices aren’t locked in.
Preorder Details and Ubisoft’s Silence

The leaker claims a pre-order phase is coming for the Switch 2 version. While the exact start date hasn’t surfaced, data indicates it’ll open sometime before November 7. That gives fans less than a month to scout for deals or lock in a day-one copy. Despite all this activity, Ubisoft hasn’t officially said a word about Shadows landing on the new hardware.
The mounting evidence might make you wonder what the delay is. Back in April, the game got spotted on the PEGI ratings site with Switch 2 specifically listed as a platform. That’s not the kind of slip that happens by accident. Since then, Assassin’s Creed Shadows even appeared on the front page of the ratings site, and at least one French retailer briefly listed the Switch 2 version online. It’s hard to imagine all these signs stacking up and not leading to a real announcement.
All Eyes on Ubisoft for the Official Word
Veteran followers of Ubisoft’s marketing cycle know the company loves to wait for the perfect moment to confirm what everyone already suspects. This leak is just the loudest in a series of signals pointing to Switch 2 getting a major AAA release from day one.
For now, fans can mark December 5, 2025, on their calendars and get ready for that pre-order window. If you’re a Switch loyalist, this is the clearest sign yet that Ubisoft is backing Nintendo’s hardware with some of its biggest guns. Whether the publisher will sweeten the deal with exclusive content remains to be seen, but with the price matching other big releases and evidence continuing to pile up, the writing’s on the wall.
