In the captivating world of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* set in Feudal Japan, romance plays a pivotal role in enriching the gameplay experience. Depending on the player's actions, love can blossom with certain characters, adding depth and emotional engagement to the narrative. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to and who you can romance in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.
Romance isn't a new concept in the *Assassin’s Creed* series, with memorable romantic options featured in games like *Odyssey* and *Valhalla*. In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, the approach to romance is distinct, offering unique interactions for both protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke. Players have the flexibility to choose whether these relationships remain fleeting or evolve into lasting bonds, even with canon mode activated.
Engaging in romance in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is refreshingly straightforward. As you progress through the game, you'll encounter quest chains focused on Naoe or Yasuke building relationships with potential allies. Some of these characters may drop hints or engage in flirty dialogue, signaling their interest in something more than friendship.
The game makes it clear when a romantic opportunity arises, often with a heart icon next to the dialogue options that will advance the romance. To deepen a relationship, consistently choose these heart-marked options. As the relationship progresses, the icon will transform, featuring a cupid's arrow at crucial moments, indicating a significant development in the romance.
It's important to note that a single choice won't lock you into a relationship, but the reverse is also true. For instance, during my playthrough, a pivotal decision with Gennojo influenced the possibility of a romantic connection later. Choosing not to pursue a flirty option early on led to a rejection when I attempted to advance the relationship later. Therefore, it's wise to keep your romantic options open, as early choices can impact future opportunities.
Both Naoe and Yasuke have their own romantic prospects in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, with options tailored to each protagonist. The game offers a variety of romantic paths, including both heterosexual and same-sex relationships. Here are the romantic options I've discovered so far:
And that concludes the *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* romance guide, detailing who you can romance and how to do so. Dive into the world of Feudal Japan and let love guide your journey.
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.*
