Assassin's Creed: Shadows has been rated for the Switch 2 on the European PEGI rating board site, strongly indicating the game will be crossing over to Nintendo's new system.

Mention of the Switch 2 platform showed up on a AC Shadows marquee card on front page of the PEGI website, but the official PEGI game listing doesn't actually mention it, however it can be found mentioned on a listing directory button via page's source code with a quick right click-> View Page Source -> CTRL+F "Switch 2".

In any case, it should hardly be a surprise that Ubisoft would want to bring its hot new Assassin's Creed game to Nintendo's platform. The Switch 2's enhanced graphical power means that Ubisoft developers won't have to compromise and scale back their games like they did on the Switch 1.

While Ubisoft has yet to confirm a Switch 2 port for Assassin's Creed: Shadows, but the publisher does plan to support the new console with a Switch 2 version of Star Wars Outlaws.

The Nintendo Switch 2 affords publishers with lots of opportunities to release new and catalog games on a platform that's expected to deliver 15 million units on year one. A lot of the games that weren't released on the Switch 1 due to technical limitations can now be ported to the Switch 2, opening up yet another doorway to continued sales for publishers like Ubisoft.

In light of the Switch 2's power profile, and Ubisoft's new billion-dollar partnership with Tencent, we may see the group expand its games to places it previously hadn't.
