A French retailer, E.Leclerc, is reported to have accidentally posted a product page and image for an Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced-themed controller intended for Nintendo’s Switch 2. The listing appears to include a “Advanced Pro Wireless Controller” and shows a release date of 22 September 2026.
Both sources treat the controller listing as a sign that the accompanying Ubisoft game could also be coming to the new platform, though neither provides official confirmation from Ubisoft or Nintendo. My Nintendo News argues that the controller’s apparent legitimacy makes it likely the promotion aligns with a Switch 2 game release. Nintendo Life similarly cites the E.Leclerc listing as the basis for the rumor, linking it to broader speculation about a potential Nintendo Direct.
At this stage, the story is still a rumor derived from retail metadata and images, with no announced announcement from the companies involved. The key difference between outlets is emphasis: one frames the controller as strong circumstantial evidence for a game launch, while the other places it in the wider context of increasing Direct speculation.
