The *Assassin’s Creed* series began experimenting with multiple endings in *Odyssey*, embracing a more RPG-centric approach reminiscent of BioWare's style. If you're curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* follows suit with multiple endings, here's what you should know.
Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have Multiple Endings?
The short answer is no. *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not feature multiple endings.
While the game allows you to select different dialogue options during interactions with key NPCs, these choices primarily influence your character's personality rather than the main storyline's outcome. This means that all players will reach the same ending, regardless of the choices they make.
These dialogue options do have their value, however. For example, you can shape Naoe into a more empathetic character who seeks non-violent solutions, or portray them as a more ruthless figure who sees violence as the only way forward. While the final outcome remains consistent, the journey to get there can vary slightly based on your choices. If you prefer not to engage with these decisions, you can opt for Canon Mode, which removes this feature entirely.
It's also worth mentioning that some side quests in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* can have multiple outcomes depending on your actions and dialogue with NPCs. Although these variations do not impact the main story and the differences in rewards are minor, they can lead to unique and engaging experiences within the game. As with the main dialogue options, you can bypass these choices by enabling Canon Mode if you wish.
This should clarify whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* offers multiple endings to its narrative. For more tips and insights on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
