The *Assassin’s Creed* series began experimenting with multiple endings in *Odyssey*, embracing a BioWare-inspired RPG style. If you're curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* follows this trend, here's the scoop.
Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have Multiple Endings?
The short answer is no. *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not feature multiple endings.
While you have the ability to select various 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 their dialogue choices.
However, these dialogue options do hold some value. For example, you can shape Naoe to be more empathetic and less inclined towards violence, or you can portray them as more ruthless and direct. Although the final conclusion remains unchanged, your journey to that point might feel slightly different. If you prefer not to engage with these choices, you can enable Canon Mode to bypass them entirely.
It's also worth mentioning that certain side quests in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* can have multiple outcomes based on your actions and dialogue with NPCs. These variations won't impact the main story and the rewards might not differ significantly, but they can lead to some intriguing gameplay moments. If you wish to avoid these decision points, Canon Mode can simplify your experience by removing them.
Hopefully, this clarifies whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* offers multiple endings to its story. For more tips and insights on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
