Although Ubisoft has yet to make any official statement regarding the release of Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag: Memory Reset on Switch 2, a recent merchandise listing by French retailer E.leclerc seems to have inadvertently revealed a connection between the game and Nintendo's new console.
Rather than creating a placeholder page for the game itself, the retailer listed a product page for an "Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag: Memory Reset Premium Professional Wireless Controller," complete with product images. The button layout clearly features Nintendo's signature A/B/X/Y arrangement, strongly suggesting it is designed for the Switch 2 platform. The listed release date is September 22, 2026.
This timing has sparked speculation: Is Ubisoft about to officially announce the Switch 2 version of Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag: Memory Reset, or will they opt for a surprise launch? Regardless, this retail listing has undoubtedly fueled recent rumors surrounding a potential Nintendo Direct.
It is important to note that the above information regarding Switch 2 remains a retailer rumor and has not been confirmed by Ubisoft. Please refer to official announcements for final details.
