In the enchanting world of *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* set in Feudal Japan, love can blossom among the shadows. Depending on your actions, you can foster romantic relationships with certain characters. Here’s your complete guide on how to and who you can romance in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*.

How Does Romance Work in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Romance isn't a new concept in the *Assassin’s Creed* series, with previous titles like *Odyssey* and *Valhalla* offering similar features. However, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* brings a unique twist to the table. Both protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke, have the opportunity to engage in romantic relationships, and players can decide whether these connections will be fleeting or enduring, even with canon mode activated.

How To Romance Another Character in Assassin’s Creed Shadows

Building a romantic entanglement in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is refreshingly straightforward. Throughout the game, you'll encounter multiple quest chains where Naoe or Yasuke can develop relationships with allies. Some of these interactions may hint at romance through flirty dialogue or suggestive undertones, and it's up to you to decide whether to pursue these advances.

The game makes it easy to spot romantic opportunities, as dialogue options with a heart icon indicate chances to progress a romantic storyline. To deepen a relationship, consistently choose these heart-icon options. As the relationship grows, the icon will evolve to include a cupid’s arrow, signaling a critical moment in your romantic journey.

It's worth noting that selecting a romantic dialogue option once or twice doesn't lock you into a relationship. Conversely, missing a key romantic choice can have lasting consequences. For instance, during my playthrough, I initially opted out of a flirty dialogue with Gennojo but later pursued it. When Naoe attempted to escalate the relationship, Gennojo rejected her due to my earlier decision. Therefore, it’s wise to keep your romantic options open, as you never know which character might capture your heart down the line.

Who Can You Romance in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Both Naoe and Yasuke have distinct romantic paths in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*. These paths seem to be tailored to each protagonist, with some characters being more prominently featured in the narrative. The game offers both heterosexual and same-sex romance options.

Here’s a rundown of 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’s the complete *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* romance guide, detailing who you can romance and how to do it.

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, allowing you to explore the depths of romance amidst the shadows of Feudal Japan.
