Ubisoft has confirmed that the Claws of Awaji expansion for Assassin's Creed Shadows will land on Nintendo Switch 2 on 10 March. The paid DLC delivers a new area to explore — the island of Awaji — and a focused narrative featuring Naoe and Yasuke as they pursue a lost treasure. The addition was announced in the Shadows Winter Roadmap and finally fills the remaining content gap for the Switch 2 edition.

  • Release date: Claws of Awaji launches on Switch 2 on 10 March after arriving on other platforms last year.
  • New locale and plot: Players will travel to Awaji Island to follow a compact storyline centered on Naoe and Yasuke tracking down a missing hoard.
  • Fresh gear and cosmetics: The expansion adds new weapons and skins, all of which can be transferred back into the main game for continued use.
  • Paid DLC: This is a standalone paid expansion rather than free post-launch content, completing the Switch 2 version’s missing pieces from the original release.
  • Roadmap update: The date was revealed as part of Ubisoft’s Shadows Winter Roadmap, providing a clearer timetable after an earlier, vague 2026 window.
