Ubisoft has released more information about the Nintendo Switch 2 port of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The company has seemingly performed a miracle using various systems to get the game looking as impressive as possible on the hardware, utilising things such as a variable refresh rate, baked global illumination lighting and DLSS upscaling while maintaining 30fps in both handheld and docked modes.
“All title updates released to date will be available at launch on Nintendo Switch™ 2, with the exception of the Claws of Awaji expansion, which is scheduled for February 2026. This version supports cross-progression via Ubisoft Connect, ensuring you can continue your journey seamlessly across platforms.”
“Bringing Shadows to Switch 2 was one of the toughest but most rewarding challenges I have ever tackled,” says Bruno. “We had to rethink almost everything, from the way the world is rendered to how systems interact, all while keeping the soul of the game intact.”
“The team’s top priority was keeping the game visually stunning. Assassin’s Creed Shadows was praised for its immersion and sense of scale, and players needed to feel that same magic on Switch™ 2. But actually delivering that magic while keeping our framerate target of 30 FPS in both docked and handheld modes required a careful balancing act.”
