The *Assassin’s Creed* series began experimenting with multiple endings in *Odyssey*, embracing a BioWare-inspired RPG approach. If you're curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* also features multiple endings, here's what you should know.
Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have Multiple Endings?
The answer is straightforward: *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not have multiple endings.
While you can select various dialogue options during conversations with key NPCs, these choices primarily influence the personality of your character. They don't impact the main story's outcome, meaning every player will reach the same conclusion. However, the dialogue options add value by allowing you to shape Naoe's character. You can portray Naoe as an empathetic figure who avoids violence or as a more aggressive character who sees no alternative to bloodshed. Although the ending remains unchanged, your journey to it may vary slightly. For those who prefer a more straightforward experience, activating Canon Mode will remove these decision-making elements entirely.
It's also worth mentioning that some side quests offer multiple outcomes based on your actions and dialogue choices with NPCs. While these don't affect the main storyline and the differences in rewards are minor, they can lead to intriguing moments in the game. If you're not interested in these choices, you can still opt for Canon Mode to simplify your gameplay experience.
