If you're a fan of the *Assassin's Creed* series, you might have noticed the shift towards multiple endings starting with *Odyssey*, embracing a more RPG-style gameplay similar to BioWare's approach. You might be curious if *Assassin's Creed Shadows* follows this trend. Here's what you need to know:
Does Assassin's Creed Shadows Have Multiple Endings?
The short answer is no. *Assassin's Creed Shadows* does not feature multiple endings.
Although 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 overall narrative. Everyone who plays the game will ultimately reach the same conclusion. The dialogue options do have value, though. For example, you can shape Naoe into a more empathetic character who avoids violence, contrasting with a more aggressive version who sees no alternative. While the end result remains the same, the journey to get there can vary slightly. If you prefer not to engage with these decisions, you can enable Canon Mode to bypass them entirely.
It's worth mentioning that some side quests in *Assassin's Creed Shadows* do have multiple outcomes, influenced by your actions and dialogue with NPCs. These variations don't impact the main storyline, and the differences in rewards are minimal, but they can lead to some intriguing moments within the game. If you're not interested in these choices, you can also turn on Canon Mode to streamline your experience.
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.
