A listing for *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 has emerged at a French retailer, suggesting the title may soon make its way to the new gaming console. The game is currently listed on the Auchan website, although no price or release date is available at this time.
The listing was first reported by VGC, a prominent gaming news outlet. According to a translated description, the game promises players a chance to “experience *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* in a whole new way with Nintendo Switch 2!” While this indicates the game’s compatibility with the new console, it remains unclear whether the release will leverage specific features unique to the Switch 2, such as gyro aiming or mouse controls.
Another notable aspect of the listing is that it will be available as a Game-Key Card. This delivery method has sparked mixed reactions among gamers, as it does not include the game pre-installed on the cartridge. Instead, the card acts as a key, allowing users to download the game once it is inserted into the console. This approach mirrors the release of *Star Wars Outlaws*, which also used the Game-Key Card format.
Given the absence of an official announcement from Ubisoft, it is possible that the box art displayed on the Auchan page serves as a placeholder. Nevertheless, the company appears committed to utilizing Game-Key Cards for its upcoming titles.
As anticipation builds for how *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* will perform on the Switch 2, comparisons to *Star Wars Outlaws* are inevitable. The latter was well-received, showcasing the potential of the new hardware, albeit with some limitations inherent to the console’s design.
As the gaming community eagerly awaits further details, the listing at Auchan has certainly piqued interest in the forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2. The excitement surrounding this release highlights the ongoing demand for innovative titles on new platforms, as gamers look forward to enhancing their experiences with the latest technology.
