The *Assassin’s Creed* franchise has always strived to immerse fans in diverse cultures throughout history. With *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, Ubisoft takes a significant leap forward by transporting players to 16th Century Japan. Here's everything you need to know about the game’s innovative Immersive Mode.
In previous *Assassin’s Creed* titles, characters often speak in modernized dialogue, rarely using their native tongues. *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* largely follows this pattern, though you might occasionally hear an NPC speak in their native language. However, Immersive Mode offers a more authentic experience.
When activated, Immersive Mode locks the voiceover language to Japanese, reflecting the historical setting accurately. Additionally, you'll hear Portuguese dialogue when appropriate, such as during interactions involving the Jesuits and Yasuke. This feature enhances the game's immersion by allowing characters to speak the languages they would have historically used, making *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* feel more true to its historical roots. While fans could previously mimic this experience by selecting specific dubs, like the Arabic dub in *Mirage*, Immersive Mode represents a significant advancement for the franchise.
The game also offers comprehensive subtitle options, allowing you to read dialogue in your preferred language. You can toggle Immersive Mode on or off in the audio settings menu at any time, requiring only a reload to your last save for the change to take effect. Unlike the game’s Canon Mode, this choice is not permanent, giving you the flexibility to experiment. If you're looking to experience *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* in the most authentic way possible, Immersive Mode is an excellent choice that truly transports you back in time. We hope to see this feature in future titles as well.
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
