A PEGI age rating listing seems to have suggested thatAssassin’s Creed Shadowscould end up being ported to theNintendo Switch 2in the near future.
Although the Switch 2 andNintendoitself have been faced with a fair amount of backlashever since the console and its surprisingly high price point were revealed last month, there have been some obvious upsides. The biggest of them all is that theSwitch’s successor is far more powerful than the originaland seems capable of running a lot of third-party games with decent quality.
So far,we’ve seen games like Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, and even Final Fantasy 7 Remakeall confirmed to be ported over to the Switch 2, which suggests that it’scapable of running a lot more than we all expected considering how the original Switch fared. Now it seems like nearly every game is a possibility, something that’s just been compounded by an age rating listing.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows Listed As Coming To Nintendo Switch 2 On PEGI’s Website
Take It With A Hidden Grain Of Salt For Now
As pointed out by ResetEra user –R, the PEGI age-rating website was recently updated to add a new platform to the Assassin’s Creed Shadows listing - the Nintendo Switch 2. That’s right, if you go on the PEGI homepage right now, one of the “most-searched games” on the site is Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which strangely has the Switch 2 listed as a console.
The listing doesn’t appear if you go on the dedicated Assassin’s Creed Shadows page itself, but it’s there clear as day when you look at the consoles listed for Shadows on the homepage. The listing hasn’t appeared anywhere else on age-rating websites for other regions, so it’s not clear how reliable it is right now.
There’s a possibility that it’s just a mistake that’s been made by PEGI, or the website has glitched somehow and accidentally added the Switch 2 as a platform for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. On the other hand, the Switch 2 does seem like it might be able to run Assassin’s Creed Shadows with enough optimisation, so it’s possible that it’s legitimate and happening.
Either way, nothing has been announced by Ubisoft so far when it comes to Shadows being ported to other consoles, so it’s best to take it all with a pinch of salt right now. If true, it’d be rather impressive of the Switch 2, especially considering howShadows has been labelled as one of the best showcases of the PS5 Pro, a console that’s known for its power.
