In the captivating world of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* set in Feudal Japan, romance adds an extra layer of intrigue and personal connection to your journey. Depending on your choices, you can kindle sparks of love with certain characters. Let’s dive into how romance works and who you can romance in this latest installment.
How Does Romance Work in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?
Romantic engagements are no stranger to the *Assassin’s Creed* series, with memorable relationships featured in titles like *Odyssey* and *Valhalla*. In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the approach to romance is uniquely tailored, allowing both protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke, to pursue romantic interests. Players have the freedom to steer these relationships towards brief encounters or enduring bonds, even with canon mode activated.
How to Romance Another Character in Assassin’s Creed Shadows
The game makes it clear when a romantic option is available; look for a heart icon next to dialogue choices. By consistently selecting these options, you can advance the romance, with the icon eventually transforming to include a cupid’s arrow at crucial stages. However, remember that a single choice won’t lock you into a relationship. Conversely, missing out on early flirtatious options might close doors later on, as I discovered with Naoe and Gennojo. A prompt will clearly indicate when a decision is pivotal, so keep your options open to see who might catch your heart down the line.
Who Can You Romance in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?
Both Naoe and Yasuke have their own romantic paths in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. These paths seem to be exclusive to each protagonist, with some characters appearing more prominently in the narrative. The game offers both heterosexual and same-sex romance options, ensuring a diverse range of relationships.
Here are the romantic options I've encountered so far:
- Naoe can romance Gennojo
- Naoe can romance Katsuhime
- Yasuke can romance Lady Oichi
That wraps up our comprehensive *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* romance guide, detailing who you can romance and how to do so. Whether you're looking for fleeting passion or a deep connection, your choices will shape your journey in Feudal Japan.
