Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Romance Options and How to Pursue Them

In the rich tapestry of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows'* Feudal Japan, romance weaves its way into the narrative, allowing players to explore love and relationships with certain characters based on their actions. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to and who you can romance in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

How Does Romance Work in Assassin’s Creed Shadows? Answered

Romance has become a familiar element in the *Assassin’s Creed* series, with memorable romantic encounters in titles like *Odyssey* and *Valhalla*. In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, romance takes a unique twist. Both protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke, have the opportunity to pursue romantic interests. Players have the flexibility to choose between short-term flings or deeper, lasting relationships, even with canon mode enabled.

How To Romance Another Character in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Engaging in a romantic relationship in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is straightforward and integrated into the game's quest chains. These quests focus on Naoe or Yasuke getting to know potential allies, some of whom may drop hints or engage in flirty dialogue. Players can easily identify romantic opportunities, as dialogue options with a heart icon signal the chance to advance a romantic storyline. By consistently choosing these options, the icon will evolve to include a cupid’s arrow, marking a significant moment in the relationship's development.

It's important to note that selecting a romantic dialogue option once or twice does not immediately lock you into a relationship. Conversely, missing an early romantic opportunity can impact future interactions. For instance, in my playthrough, a missed flirty option with Gennojo led to a later rejection when Naoe attempted to deepen the relationship. Therefore, keeping your romantic options open during these pivotal moments is advisable, as you never know which character might capture your heart later on.

Who Can You Romance in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Both Naoe and Yasuke have their own set of romantic prospects in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. These options are tailored to each protagonist, with some characters receiving more focus in the narrative. The game offers both heterosexual and same-sex romance options, providing a diverse range of romantic possibilities.

Here’s a list of the romantic options I’ve discovered in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*:

• Naoe can romance Gennojo
• Naoe can romance Katsuhime
• Yasuke can romance Lady Oichi
