The *Assassin’s Creed* series has been known to experiment with narrative structures, notably introducing multiple endings with *Odyssey*, embracing a BioWare-esque approach to RPG gameplay. If you're curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* continues this trend, here’s what you should know.
Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have Multiple Endings?
The answer is straightforward: *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not feature multiple endings. Despite the option to select different dialogue choices during interactions with key NPCs, these choices primarily serve to shape the personality of your character, Naoe. They do not influence the overarching narrative or the final outcome of the main story. This means that every player will experience the same conclusion, regardless of the dialogue paths chosen.
However, the dialogue options do add depth to Naoe's character. You can choose to portray Naoe as a more empathetic figure, avoiding violence when possible, or as a more ruthless assassin who sees violence as the only solution. While the end remains the same, these choices can alter the journey, providing a personalized experience. For those who prefer a streamlined playthrough, Canon Mode is available, which removes these decision-making elements entirely.
It's also worth mentioning that some side quests in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* can have multiple outcomes based on your actions and dialogue with NPCs. Although these variations do not impact the main storyline and the differences in rewards are minor, they can lead to unique and engaging moments within the game. Again, if you wish to bypass these choices, you can activate Canon Mode.
Hopefully, this clarifies whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes multiple endings to its story. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
