After months of leaks and rumors, Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced was officially revealed this week. The game is scheduled to arrive on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in July. However, for Nintendo enthusiasts, the news is disappointing because Assassin's Creed: Black Flag isn't coming to Switch 2 at launch.
Official Launch Platforms
The official FAQ for Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced makes no mention of a Nintendo release. Currently, the documentation only includes PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. While this confirms that Assassin's Creed: Black Flag isn't coming to Switch 2 for now, it doesn't rule out a future port entirely.
Why Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Isn't Coming To Switch 2 (Yet)
The technical capabilities of Nintendo’s next-gen system suggest it could handle the game with ease. Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced utilizes the same Anvil Engine technology used in last year's Assassin's Creed Shadows, which was eventually ported to Switch 2 hardware.
We have already seen Ubisoft successfully bring heavy-hitting, visually impressive titles to the new platform:
- Assassin's Creed Shadows: A massive open-world experience set in feudal Japan.
- Star Wars Outlaws: Another high-fidelity title from the Ubisoft library.
While both games required post-launch patches to optimize their performance, they both eventually achieved a stable level of gameplay. Whether playing in handheld or docked mode, these titles proved the hardware is capable of running high-end Ubisoft experiences. This precedent suggests that while the game isn't currently listed, a later release remains possible.
