Retailer leaks are definitely permitted
Traditionally,Assassin’s Creedand Nintendo platforms haven’t really gotten along. Ubisoft broughtAssassin’s Creed IIIandAssassin’s Creed IV: Black Flagto Wii U, but wound down support after weak sales. To be fair, most third-party publishers had weak sales on Wii U.
However, nearly everything has sold well on Switch for nearly two years now and that might have Ubisoft rethinking some stuff. There’s already a streaming-only version ofAssassin’s Creed Odysseyon Switch in Japan. Now we have a decently-reliable indication that some of the back catalog might get ports.
German retailer MediaMarkt recently listed something calledAssassin’s Creed Compilationfor Switch. The gaffe was quickly removed, butNintendo Everythingcaught a screenshot of the errant entry. There isn’t much in the way of details, though. We’re left to formulate our own dream team of whichAssassin’s Creeds would make the best bundle.
As these things go, early retailer listings are usually one of the more trustworthy sources of leaks. They’re not surefire, but they have a decent hit rate. If this one turns out true, there’s a whole lot of stabbin’ in the Switch’s future.
