The *Assassin’s Creed* series began experimenting with multiple endings in *Odyssey*, embracing a more RPG-style gameplay similar to BioWare's approach. If you're curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* follows suit with multiple endings, here's what you need to know.
Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have Multiple Endings?
The answer is no. *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not feature multiple endings.
Although you have the ability 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. Every player will ultimately reach the same conclusion, regardless of the dialogue paths chosen.
The dialogue options do add value to the game. 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. While the ending remains the same, the journey to get there can vary slightly. If you prefer to bypass these choices entirely, you can enable Canon Mode, which removes the decision-making aspect from the game.
It's worth mentioning that some side quests in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* do have multiple outcomes based on your actions and dialogue choices with NPCs. These variations won't impact the main story, and the rewards might not be significantly different, but they can lead to unique experiences within the game. Again, activating Canon Mode allows you to skip these decision points if you wish.
Hopefully, this clarifies whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* offers multiple endings to its story. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out The Escapist.
