The *Assassin's Creed* series began experimenting with multiple endings in *Odyssey*, embracing a BioWare-style 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 short answer is no. *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does not have multiple endings.
Although the game allows you to select different dialogue options during conversations with key NPCs, these choices primarily serve to add flavor to your character's personality. They do not impact the main story's outcome. As a result, all players will arrive at the same conclusion regardless of their choices.
However, the dialogue options do have value. For example, you can shape Naoe into a more empathetic character who seeks non-violent solutions, or a more ruthless version who sees violence as the only way. While the ending remains the same, the journey can feel slightly different based on your choices. If you prefer not to engage with these decisions, you can activate Canon Mode to bypass them entirely.
It's worth noting that some side quests in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* do offer multiple outcomes based on your actions and dialogue choices with NPCs. These variations don't affect the main storyline and the rewards aren't significantly different, but they can lead to intriguing moments in the game. If you want to avoid these decision points, you can also turn on Canon Mode.
