Canon Mode, a new game feature for Assassin’s Creed Shadows that will automatically make the “correct” choices for players during branching dialogs to ensure that the story plays out in the way that Ubisoft’s writers and designers intended, will be available in the action-adventure game when it launches on February 14, 2025. “Jonathan,” one of the project’s developers, shared the news in an AMA that took place on reddit yesterday, suggesting that the feature should help mitigate controversy over franchise lore and make the experience more fun for everyone. The news comes a week after Ubisoft announced the Japan Crate x Assassin’s Creed Shadows – Strike with Flavor Snack Crate, a new curated collaboration that includes 15 high-quality Japanese treats and other items inspired by the new game.
Choices come more into play when recruiting allies and romance some of the characters. Since the fan base is divided on branching dialogues, we have incorporated an option called CANON MODE which allows you to play the game with choices already made for you, to give you a choice free experience. Hope this makes it fun for everyone.
