Assassin’s Creed Shadows Expands to Additional Platforms with Upcoming ‘Claws of Awaji’ Expansion
Ubisoft has strongly indicated that Assassin’s Creed Shadows is coming to additional platforms. Earlier this year, PEGI, the European rating agency, listed the game for a future release on the Nintendo Switch 2. During a recent investor presentation, CEO Yves Guillemot announced that Assassin’s Creed Shadows has already attracted over five million players. He anticipates this number will grow significantly with the game’s launch on additional platforms and the release of the upcoming “Claws of Awaji” expansion. This expansion, slated for release before October, is expected to add approximately ten hours of new content. Guillemot expressed optimism for the title, stating it “had a great start” and promising “plenty of exciting new features coming soon.” When directly questioned about plans for the Switch 2, Guillemot did not confirm which specific Ubisoft titles would launch on the platform next year. However, Ubisoft has historically been a significant third-party supporter of Nintendo. The strong performance of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, with sales meeting targets, is a significant positive for Ubisoft. This success comes during what has been a challenging period for the company, following a series of setbacks.
