In a move that makes me happy as a primarily PC gamer, Ubisoft has announced that the newest update for Assassin’s Creed Shadows on Nintendo Switch 2 will bring mouse and keyboard support for players. I’m not sure if that means Joy-Con 2 mouse mode is included finally, but if you have a USB keyboard and mouse, you’ll be able to experience the game as if you were on PC. That’s really cool!
The new control scheme comes as part of patch 1.1.10, which is available across all platforms (mouse and keyboard support was already available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S).
Bo Weapon
In addition to the new input method on Switch 2, players will be able to unlock the “non-legendary Bo Weapon” that is included as part of the Claws of Awaji DLC expansion. Think of it as a sampler for what you can find if you grab the season pass.
The rest of the patch notes are below. The update comes in at 5.4 GB on Switch 2, so make sure you have enough storage available before downloading.
