Assassin's Creed Shadows will give players a choice over whether they would prefer to make their own dialogue decisions or allow its dual protagonists to make all the choices for them. This newly announced Canon Mode in Assassin's Creed Shadows seems like it's meant to both appease fans of older games in the franchise and provide more fleshed-out main characters.
The stealth-based Assassin's Creed franchise has been around since 2007, launching its first four mainline games and two spin-offs during the era of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. While the first several titles in the series fit neatly into the action-adventure genre, the games started veering more into action-RPG territory in 2017 with the release of Assassin's Creed Origins, which featured a more RPG-like gear system, and subsequent releases like Odyssey and Valhalla have leaned more into a choices-matter style of gameplay, leaving some fans wondering which route Shadows will take when it launches on February 14, 2025.
Fans can finally get a look at the weapons available to the dual protagonists of Assassin's Creed Shadows with an update to the game's news page.
