Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Romance Guide - Who to Romance and How

Author : Finn Update:Apr 11,2025

In the captivating world of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* set in Feudal Japan, romance blossoms based on the player's choices. Here’s a detailed guide on how to engage in romance and which characters you can woo in this immersive game.

How Does Romance Work in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Romance in *Assassin’s Creed* is not a new concept, as fans may recall from *Odyssey* and *Valhalla*. However, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* introduces a unique approach to romantic engagements. Both protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke, have the opportunity to pursue romantic interests. Players can decide whether these relationships evolve into fleeting flings or deep, lasting bonds, even with canon mode enabled.

Engaging in romance in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is straightforward. Throughout the game, you'll encounter multiple quest chains focused on Naoe or Yasuke building relationships with potential allies. Some of these interactions can become flirty, hinting at a deeper connection. When presented with dialogue options, a heart icon next to the choice indicates a chance to advance the romance. Consistently choosing these options will deepen the relationship, with the icon eventually transforming to show Cupid's arrow through the heart at crucial moments.

It's important to note that selecting a romantic dialogue option once or twice won't automatically commit you to a relationship. Conversely, missing out on early romantic choices can impact future opportunities. For instance, in my playthrough, an early decision not to flirt with Gennojo led to him rejecting Naoe’s later advances. Therefore, keeping your romantic options open, especially during significant interactions, is advisable as you might find a character more appealing later on.

Who Can You Romance in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

In *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, both Naoe and Yasuke have distinct romantic prospects, each tied to their respective storylines. The game offers both heterosexual and same-sex romance options, with some characters seemingly more favored in the narrative. Here are the romantic options available:

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

And that concludes the *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* romance guide, detailing who you can romance and how to navigate these relationships within the game.

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