Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Exploring Immersive Mode

Apr 13,2025 Author: Audrey

The *Assassin’s Creed* series has long been celebrated for its deep dives into various historical cultures, and with *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, Ubisoft is taking fans on a journey to 16th Century Japan. A key feature that enhances this experience is the game's Immersive Mode. Here’s a comprehensive look at what this mode offers and whether it's worth enabling.

What Does Immersive Mode Do in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Traditionally, *Assassin’s Creed* games feature dialogue in modernized languages, with occasional native language phrases from NPCs. *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* largely follows this pattern, but with a twist. Immersive Mode aims to heighten the game's authenticity by locking the voiceover language to Japanese, the language spoken during the period depicted. Additionally, you'll hear Portuguese when interacting with Jesuits and Yasuke, reflecting their historical presence in Japan.

This mode significantly enhances the immersion and historical accuracy of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. While previous games allowed for some level of immersion through language options, such as the Arabic dub in *Mirage*, Immersive Mode represents a significant advancement for the franchise.

Should You Turn On Immersive Mode in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

The primary drawback of using Immersive Mode is missing out on the performances of the English voice cast. However, the Japanese and Portuguese voice actors deliver equally compelling performances, ensuring a high-quality experience.

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* offers robust subtitle options, allowing you to read the dialogue in your preferred language while still enjoying the authentic voiceovers. Immersive Mode can be toggled on or off at any time through the audio settings menu, requiring only a reload to the last save for the changes to take effect. Unlike Canon Mode, which locks your choice for the entire playthrough, Immersive Mode offers flexibility, making it risk-free to experiment with.

If you're seeking the most authentic experience possible, Immersive Mode is an excellent choice to truly transport yourself back to 16th Century Japan. We hope to see this feature in future *Assassin’s Creed* titles.

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
