The *Assassin’s Creed* series began exploring the concept of multiple endings with *Odyssey*, embracing a more BioWare-inspired RPG approach. If you're curious about whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* follows suit with multiple endings, here's what you need to know.
The answer is straightforward: *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not feature multiple endings. While the game allows you to select different dialogue options during interactions with key NPCs, these choices primarily serve to shape your character's personality rather than altering the main storyline's outcome. Consequently, all players will reach the same conclusion regardless of their dialogue choices.
The dialogue options, however, do have their merits. For example, you can mold Naoe into a more empathetic character who prefers non-violent solutions, or you can shape them into a more aggressive persona who sees violence as the only way forward. While the end result remains the same, the journey to that point can vary subtly based on your choices. If you prefer not to engage with these decision-making elements, you can enable Canon Mode, which removes these options entirely.
It's also worth mentioning that some side quests in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* can have multiple outcomes depending on your actions and dialogue with NPCs. These variations do not impact the main story and the differences in rewards are minimal, but they can lead to unique experiences within the game. As with the main dialogue, these elements can be turned off by activating Canon Mode if you wish to avoid them.
This should clarify whether *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* includes multiple endings. For more tips and detailed information on the game, be sure to check out resources on The Escapist.
