Assassin's Creed Shadows launched on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC back in March, and now the latest entry in Ubisoft's stealth-action series is finally launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 on December 2. Preorders for the Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 Edtion are available for $60 at multiple online retailers. While this version of the game doesn't include any preorder bonuses, there are a couple of benefits to picking up the Switch 2 Edition, including touch screen support for menu navigation, cross-save support, and--of course--the ability to play the game on the go thanks to the Switch 2's handheld mode.
The Switch 2 version of Assassin's Creed Shadows includes the base game. This is a Game Key-Card release, meaning none of the game data is included on the cartridge, and instead it acts as physical DRM that unlocks access to the digital version of the game. This means you must download the game data to your console before you can play.
As mentioned above, there are no preorder bonuses included with the Switch 2 edition. While the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC versions that launched earlier this year included the Claws of Awaji story DLC as a perk for grabbing the game ealier, Switch 2 players will have to buy this post-game content separately when it launches on the eShop in 2026.
You can preorder the Assassin's Creed Shadows Switch 2 physical edition for $60 at Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop. Digital preorders are also live on the eShop.
While you're at it, you might want to pick up some supplemental AC Shadows merch, specifically the official guide and art books for the game. Currently, both editions of the official game guide and art book are on sale, so there's really never been a better time to scoop them up. With the official strategy guide, you'll not only get detailed tips on how to make your way through the game, but also a comprehensive atlas of the in-game map, a complete inventory catalog of all the gear you can obtain, as well as a breakdown of each character's skill trees. Grab the hardcover version for just $35.25 (saving you $9.75), or the paperback for $19.30 (which saves you $10.70).
The art book, which is also discounted, comes packed with 256 pages of details on the game's development, plus a ton of concept art showcasing AC Shadows' characters, landscapes, gear, and more. The standard edition of the art book is just $30 ($20 off the original price), or you could upgrade to the deluxe edition for $43.45 (saving you $56.55). The deluxe edition includes everything in the standard edition, plus a unique cover, a slipcase, and an exclusive art print.
