New Assassin’s Creed Shadows Feature Solves a Big Problem Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins Have

With the launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Ubisoft is addressing a common complaint from some AC enthusiasts about the RPG-era games, including Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins. These recent Assassin’s Creed titles have moved the series away from its earlier linear and stealth-action roots towards the open-world RPG style that has become synonymous with the franchise today.

One significant change that’s come about in this update includes dialogue options and the power to influence the narratives and worlds within Assassin’s Creed. This is wonderful news for fans who enjoy such features, but for those who prefer a more traditional Assassin’s Creed experience, a new aspect being incorporated in AC Shadows will be particularly beneficial.

Ubisoft has unveiled a new gameplay mode titled “Canon Mode” for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, designed specifically for players who prefer a streamlined experience without having to make dialogue choices, as was common in earlier games of the series. This mode aims to provide players with an authentic and canonical experience.

The system operates by freezing conversation scenes, ensuring that all choices made align with the version of events that Ubisoft deems as canonical. Essentially, it presents the storyline much like the tales told in earlier Assassin’s Creed games.

To clarify, enabling this feature works like a switch – you can turn it on or off at your convenience. If you wish to utilize it, you’ll need to actively choose to enable it. On the other hand, if you prefer not to engage with the RPG aspects, you should keep it switched off.

In “Assassin’s Creed: Shadows,” we offer a new feature called “Canon Mode.” This means that during cutscenes, the dialogue will be locked and follow the canon story for those who love lore. However, don’t worry RPG fans, you can easily turn this mode off to continue your roleplaying adventure as usual. So, how will you play?
