The *Assassin’s Creed* series ventured into the realm of multiple endings with *Odyssey*, embracing a BioWare-esque approach to RPG gameplay. If you're curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* follows suit, let's dive in and find out.
Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have Multiple Endings?
The straightforward answer is no, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not feature multiple endings.
While you have the freedom to select different dialogue options during interactions with key NPCs, these choices primarily serve to add flavor to your character's personality. They do not influence the overarching narrative or the game's conclusion. This means that every player will ultimately reach the same ending, regardless of the dialogue paths chosen.
However, the dialogue options do have their merits. For example, you can shape Naoe into a more empathetic character who seeks non-violent solutions, or a more aggressive one who sees violence as the only way forward. Although the final outcome remains consistent, the journey to that point can vary slightly based on your choices. If you prefer to bypass these decisions, you can enable Canon Mode, which removes the dialogue choices entirely.
It's also worth mentioning that certain side quests in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* can have multiple outcomes, influenced by your actions and conversations with NPCs. These variations do not impact the main storyline and the differences in rewards are minor, but they can lead to some intriguing in-game experiences. As with the main story, you can opt to activate Canon Mode to avoid these decision-making elements if you prefer.
So, to answer your question, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not have multiple endings to its main story. For more insights and tips on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
