Assassin's Creed is coming to the Switch for the first time, although it might not be in the way you were anticipating. Ubisoft has revealed that Assassin's Creed III Remastered will be available on Nintendo's multi-mode console on May 21st. Aside from any possible visual touch-ups (i's not certain how much of an upgrade you'll see on Switch), this is mostly a way to catch up on everything that happened in this era of the AC franchise: you'll get all the solo downloadable content as well as Liberation. While it probably isn't your first pick for an Assassin's Creed port (Black Flag, please?), it does mean you can fight the Templars while you're on the bus.

The Revolutionary War never looked so good. Ubisoft announced today that it will be reaching into its vault and giving Assassin's Creed III a fresh coat of paint with a remastered edition, set to drop on March 29th. The new, higher resolution version of the classic title will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC -- though there's been no mention of a Nintendo Switch version for the time being. According to Ubisoft, Assassin's Creed III Remastered will offer 4K and HDR support that will make the title, first released in 2012, look like a modern release. The game has also received some tweaks and improvements to gameplay mechanics that should squash some of the clunkiness present in the original release.
