Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Romance Options and Guide

Author : Samuel Apr 02,2025

In the enchanting world of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* set in Feudal Japan, the air is filled with the subtle scent of romance. Players have the opportunity to kindle romantic connections with certain characters, influenced by their actions within the game. Here’s a detailed guide on how to engage in romance and who you can romance in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

How Does Romance Work in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Romance has been a staple feature in recent *Assassin’s Creed* titles like *Odyssey* and *Valhalla*, and *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* continues this tradition with a unique twist. Both protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke, have the chance to pursue romantic relationships. Players have the freedom to decide whether these relationships will be fleeting or more enduring, even with canon mode activated.

Initiating a romantic relationship in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is refreshingly straightforward. Throughout the game, you'll encounter multiple quest chains that involve Naoe or Yasuke bonding with potential allies. Some of these interactions may include flirty dialogue or hints of deeper connections, leaving it to the player to take the next step.

Romantic advances from other characters are often clear and direct, particularly with characters like Gennojo, who uses playful and suggestive one-liners. When faced with dialogue choices, a heart icon will appear next to the option that advances the romance. To foster a romantic relationship, consistently choose these options. As the relationship develops, the icon will evolve, featuring a cupid’s arrow at crucial moments.

Choosing a romantic dialogue option once or twice won't immediately lock you into a relationship, but it's important to be mindful of key moments. These pivotal decisions are highlighted by a prominent text prompt, indicating their impact on the character. In my playthrough, an early choice not to flirt with Gennojo affected later interactions, leading to rejection when Naoe attempted to deepen the relationship. Therefore, keeping your romantic options open during these significant moments is advisable, as you might find yourself drawn to different characters later in the game.

Who Can You Romance in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Both Naoe and Yasuke have distinct romantic options in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. These options are tied to each protagonist, with some characters seemingly receiving more narrative emphasis. The game offers both heterosexual and same-sex romance options, catering to a variety of player preferences.

Here are the romantic options I've discovered in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*:

  • Naoe can romance Gennojo
  • Naoe can romance Katsuhime
  • Yasuke can romance Lady Oichi

And that concludes our comprehensive *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* romance guide, detailing how to engage in romance and the characters you can romance.

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
