Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection heading to Switch this February
/
Ubisoft has announced that you can play Ezio Auditore’s complete saga in the Nintendo Switch with the Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection coming out on February 17.
This is similar to the same Ezio collection that was released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One back in 2016. The only big difference is if you pick up the physical copy of Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection for the Switch, the cartridge will only contain Assassin’s Creed II. Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, and each of the game’s audio packages can be obtained through digital download.
The collection also includes digital copies of short films Assassin’s Creed Lineage and Assassin’s Creed Embers, so the total space required to get all content from this package will require 35 GB.
Ubisoft also mentioned that each game will feature Switch-specific features such as Handheld Mode, HD Rumble, the option to use the touchscreen interface, plus an optimized HUD. The collection will also contain all the original single player DLC for each of the games.
