Assassin's Creed Shadows has been out since March already, but now Ubisoft is bringing Naoe and Yasuke's story to the Nintendo Switch 2, with an all-new trailer revealing that the latest installment in the Assassin's Creed franchise will arrive for the Switch 2 on December 2, 2025. The trailer is accompanied by a fall roadmap and an official press release with more details about what to expect from both the Switch 2 version of the game and the rest of the game's content updates. Ubisoft confirmed in the announcement that Assassin's Creed Shadows on the Switch 2 will have all of the game's current title updates and free content at launch, with the exception of the Claws of Awaji update. The aforementioned update will arrive in an update in 2026.

Assassin's Creed Shadows will also feature cross save for those playing on multiple systems, and Ubisoft has implemented some tweaks to the game's UI for the Switch 2's touch screen. Ubisoft also announced Title Update 10 and 11, slated for October 28 and November 25, respectively. The most notable changes coming to the game with Title Update 10 are the parkour changes, which will unlock more freedom by removing parkour barriers and tweaking parkour moves to work in more scenarios. The November Title Update 11 will be the game's third free story drop, called "A Puzzlement," which will take "a more humorous, silly tone" that Ubisoft says is more reminiscent of Assassin's Creed Odyssey. It will also adapt one of each protagonist's moves for the other character. Naoe will learn a version of Yasuke's war kick and Yasuke will learn how to "stealthily dispatch enemies in a non-lethal way." Ubisoft also teased a special collaboration coming in November, but declined to provide further details.
