  • How Romance Works

At times, a protagonist may find themselves experiencing a solitary existence due to their relentless pursuit of their main objective – often achieving some grand feat or resolution. This is certainly the case for characters like Naoe and Yasuke in “Assassin’s Creed: Shadows“.

Indeed, they need to traverse quite a distance through the era of feudal Japan. Fortunately, there are guides and allies who can assist them on their journey, yet this does not necessarily alleviate the solitude they often experience.

Here is a helpful tip for ensuring these two receive the affection they crave, all while staying true to your purpose.

How Romance Works

Although the selection of romantic interests might seem somewhat restricted, there are still four possibilities for each character, providing you with numerous choices to explore. Occasionally, you’ll encounter a potential companion during the main storyline, and at other times, you’ll stumble upon them while completing various side quests scattered across Japan.

As a gamer, when chatting up a character who seems keen on developing a romantic relationship with my protagonist, I’ll spot a heart symbol alongside some dialogue options. In such instances, choosing these heart-marked responses is the way to go if I want to flirt and potentially deepen the connection with that character.

Furthermore, there might be characters who need your assistance, either by finishing tasks or progressing through specific plot points within the main story. If these conditions are met and you’ve shown appropriate affection, you may even have the opportunity to form a romantic relationship with those characters.

If you are playing in Canon Mode, you will be unable to romance anyone.

All Romance Options

In the game, each character has four distinct romantic options available to them. Here’s an overview of each one.
