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 who you can romance and how to ignite those romantic sparks.

Romance in *Assassin's Creed* isn't new; *Odyssey* and *Valhalla* offered similar options. *Mirage*, however, takes a unique approach. Both playable protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke, have romantic possibilities, and the player controls whether these relationships are fleeting or long-lasting, even in canon mode.

How to Romance in Assassin's Creed Mirage

Building a relationship in Assassin's Creed Mirage is surprisingly straightforward. Several questlines involve Naoe or Yasuke getting to know potential partners during recruitment. Some characters will flirt, hinting at deeper connections, leaving the player to decide how far to take things.

The game makes it easy to understand. When a dialogue option could advance a romance, a heart icon appears. Choose these options to progress. The icon evolves to a cupid's arrow at key moments.

However, choosing a heart option once or twice won't guarantee a relationship. Conversely, ignoring opportunities can impact future interactions. Key decisions with significant relationship consequences are highlighted by clear text prompts. In one playthrough, ignoring an early flirtatious option with Gennojo later resulted in his rejection of Naoe's advances. Therefore, keep your romantic options open during these pivotal moments.

Who Can You Romance in Assassin's Creed Mirage?

Naoe and Yasuke each have unique romantic options, although some characters seem more favored in the narrative. Both heterosexual and same-sex romances are available.

Here's a summary of romantic possibilities:

• Naoe: Can romance Gennojo and Katsuhime.
• Yasuke: Can romance Lady Oichi.

This guide covers the romance options and how to pursue them in Assassin's Creed Mirage.

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