Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Reportedly Coming to Switch 2 Later
Ubisoft has officially announced Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag Memory Reset, a remastered version of the beloved pirate-themed open-world title, but Nintendo was notably absent from the list of launch platforms. The game has only been confirmed for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, with a release date set for July 9, 2026. While Nintendo Switch 2 has not yet received an official confirmation for the title, insiders are urging fans to remain patient, suggesting that the remake will eventually make its way to the platform after its initial launch window.
According to leaker Nash Weedle, Nintendo’s next-generation console will receive the remake, but only after a timed exclusive period on other platforms has elapsed. Ubisoft has declined to comment on the matter, but industry observers view a Switch 2 release as a logical next step for the title. The delayed rollout mirrors common industry practices where major third-party titles arrive on Nintendo hardware after launching on competing platforms.
The prospect of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag Memory Reset landing on Switch 2 is widely seen as a natural fit, especially considering that Assassin’s Creed Shadows successfully launched on Switch 2 in December 2025. With that precedent already established, bringing the pirate-themed classic to Nintendo’s new hardware appears to be a matter of timing rather than possibility. Players can expect to revisit this acclaimed title in both handheld and docked modes when it eventually arrives.
While no official release window has been provided for the Switch 2 version, the consistent pattern of Ubisoft supporting Nintendo’s platforms suggests that an announcement is only a matter of time. For fans eager to relive Edward Kenway’s adventures on the go, the wait may be longer than for other platforms, but the outcome seems all but certain. This is definitely a situation worth keeping an eye on for anyone holding out for the Nintendo version.
