Pick up Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Nintendo Switch 2 for under $50 before it’s too late
If you’ve just got a Nintendo Switch 2 for the holidays, or you’re simply looking for something new to play, we’ve found a new Amazon deal well worth checking out. Right now, you can grab Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the latest installment in Ubisoft’s open-world action-adventure series, for just $49.99, saving you a cool $10 on the original asking price.
For those who don’t know, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a high-ranking entry in our guide to the best assassin games, offering engaging combat, enthralling exploration, and stunning visuals in an authentic recreation of feudal Japan. It’s a real return to form for the series, and if you’re also a fan of the Ghost games, such as Ghost of Tsushima or Ghost of Yōtei, it’s another chance to get slicing and dicing with a razor-sharp katana.
In our Assassin’s Creed Shadows review, Kayleigh Partleton awarded the game a stellar 8/10 rating, highlighting the game’s impressive performance in both handheld and docked modes. It’s also in the top 30 of Nintendo Switch 2 games on Metacritic, with a more than respectable 80/100 score, so you don’t just have to take our word for how spectacular this game is.
The $49.99 price point is a pretty great deal these days, especially when you take into account all the backlash over the cost of Nintendo Switch 2 games since the console’s launch. The discount makes it cheaper than both Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, and considering the game offers at least 100 hours of content if you want to complete all the side missions and really take in the sights, sounds, and slashings of feudal Japan, $50 is more than worth the entry price.
It’s worth mentioning that this Assassin’s Creed Shadows discount is only sticking around for just over a day at the time of writing, so be sure to act fast if you want to add it to your collection. Just keep in mind that this is a Nintendo Switch 2 game, so it won’t run on the original Switch. If you haven’t upgraded yet, though, don’t fret. We’ve got a list of the best Nintendo Switch games for you to check out.
