Ubisoft has revealed that it's including something it calls "Canon Mode" in upcoming action RPG Assassin's Creed Shadows, and if you've ever wondered which dialogue option your character would actually pick, this one's for you.
In a recent Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) session, creative director Jonathan Dumont says Canon Mode was included to address the fact that Assassin's Creed's fanbase is "divided on branching dialogues".
If you select Canon Mode, then dialogue choices will be made for you so that you don't have to worry about whether what you're doing is in character or not. Dumont says this should give players a "choice free experience", which feels like a slightly odd way of wording it.
When it comes to the length of the game, Dumont says that while it's "hard to evaluate" such things in open-world games due to player variables, he thinks Shadows' main campaign is "comparable to Origins/Odyssey and Valhalla" in terms of length.
Again, that feels like a slightly odd answer to give when considering that these three games take different amounts of time to beat. Origins' campaign sits at around 25-30 hours, while Odyssey's takes about 45 hours and Valhalla's can take up to 60. ...
