Ubisoft has asnnounced that Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection is officially coming to the Nintendo Switch, and Switch owners don’t have to wait all that long to get their hands on it. Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection will launch for the Nintendo Switch on Thursday, February 17 and retail for $39.99. Like previous iterations of the collection, it gives players access to Assassin’s Creed 2, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, and Assassin’s Creed Revelations, the third and final entry in Ezio’s story.

Also like previous versions of the Ezio Collection, Switch owners will have access to all the single-player DLC that was released for Assassin’s Creed 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations. This will allow Nintendo Switch gamers to experience the full scope of the trilogy. Plus, they’ll get even more insight into Ezio as a character as the collection includes the Assassin’s Creed Lineage and Assassin’s Creed Embers short films as well.
The main draw for Assassin’s Creed fans to pick up the Ezio Collection on the Nintendo Switch is portability, as they will now be able to take Ezio Auditore da Firenze’s adventures with them on the go. However, there are other benefits to the Nintendo Switch version of the collection as well, including HD Rumble in the Joy-Cons, touchscreen controls, and an optimized HUD.
Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection is just the latest Assassin’s Creed game to make its way to Nintendo’s handheld/home console hybrid. Assassin’s Creed 3 Remastered is also available on the Switch, as is Assassin’s Creed: Rebel Collection, which combines Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag and Assassin’s Creed: Rogue into one package.
It’s unclear if other Assassin’s Creed games will make their way to the Switch, but it’s certainly possible. Ubisoft experimented with bringing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey to the Switch, though it’s only playable in Japan through the cloud at the time of this writing. Maybe Ubisoft will bring the more graphically-intense Assassin’s Creed games to the Switch using the cloud, or maybe fans can look forward to some of the older Assassin’s Creed games making their way to the console instead. For now, fans can look forward to Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection making its Switch debut next month.
Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection is available now for PS4 and Xbox One with a Switch version coming February 17.
