Assassin’s Creed Shadows Romance Guide (Who and How to Romance)

In the breathtaking feudal Japan of *Assassin's Creed Mirage*, love blossoms—or at least, it *can*, depending on your choices. This guide reveals the romantic possibilities and how to navigate them.

How Romance Works in Assassin's Creed Mirage

Romance isn't new to the Assassin's Creed series; fans will remember similar options in Odyssey and Valhalla. Mirage, however, offers a unique twist. Both protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke, have romantic avenues, and the player controls whether these relationships are fleeting or enduring, even in canon mode.

How to Romance in Assassin's Creed Mirage

Building a romantic connection in Assassin's Creed Mirage is surprisingly straightforward. Several quest lines, particularly those involving Naoe and Yasuke recruiting allies, offer opportunities for flirtatious dialogue and hints of deeper connections. The player decides whether to pursue these possibilities.

The game makes it easy to identify romantic options. Dialogue choices that advance a romance are marked with a heart icon. Select these options to progress the relationship. The icon eventually evolves to show Cupid's arrow, signifying a crucial point in the relationship's development.

However, choosing a heart-icon option once or twice doesn't automatically lock you into a relationship, nor does ignoring them necessarily preclude romance later. Important decisions impacting relationships are highlighted by clear text prompts. In one playthrough, a player's early rejection of a romantic advance later resulted in rejection from that character. Keep your options open during these key moments, as unexpected connections might emerge.

Who Can You Romance in Assassin's Creed Mirage?

Both Naoe and Yasuke have romantic options, seemingly specific to each protagonist. Some characters appear more prominently in the romantic storylines than others. Both heterosexual and same-sex romance options exist.

Here are the confirmed romantic options:

• Naoe: Gennojo, Katsuhime
• Yasuke: Lady Oichi

This concludes our Assassin's Creed Mirage romance guide, covering who to romance and how.

Assassin's Creed Mirage is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
