Ubisoft has confirmed that Far Cry 3 Classic Edition and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon are coming to Nintendo Switch 2, with both set for Spring 2027.
That’s another solid third-party get for Nintendo Switch 2, and it keeps one of Ubisoft’s biggest series in circulation on yet another platform. Ubisoft still hasn’t said much beyond the announcement, though. There’s no word yet on technical specs, pricing, bundle options, physical releases, or Switch 2-specific extras such as touchscreen support, gyro aiming, or any exclusive upgrades.
Far Cry 3 still has weight because the 2012 original helped lock in Ubisoft’s modern open-world playbook. It dropped players onto the pirate-run Rook Islands and built its identity around exploration, outpost captures, crafting, and combat that could turn messy fast. Then came 2013’s standalone Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, which went in a completely different direction and ended up a fan favorite thanks to its neon retro-futurist style, sci-fi nonsense, and full-on 1980s action-movie spoofing.
These aren’t brand-new editions, either. Ubisoft already put out Far Cry 3 Classic Edition on PS4 and Xbox One back in 2018, and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon returned in remastered form in 2021 through the Far Cry 6 season pass. So this lands less like a major revival and more like a meaningful back-catalog drop on a platform that has barely seen modern Far Cry releases.
If you’ve been waiting for Ubisoft shooters on a portable system, this is one to watch. Both games are scheduled to hit Nintendo Switch 2 in Spring 2027.
