Assassin’s Creed Shadows Will Feature a “Canon Mode” for Players Seeking a Choice-Free Experience

[Tsing]

Canon Mode, a new game feature for Assassin's Creed Shadows that will automatically make the "correct" choices for players during branching dialogs to ensure that the story plays out in the way that Ubisoft's writers and designers intended, will be available in the action-adventure game when it launches on February 14, 2025.

So if there is only one correct choice to see the intended story... why In the Hell are they offering alternate branching options? That is just false autonomy.

They are also retconning all previous games in this apparently. Not that I care about AC lore, but I guess at least some of its fans do. I don't think Ubisoft could do a better job if they wanted the game to fail.

I hadn't heard that. Do you have a link somewhere?

Short answer: No.

I read it on twitter where it is impossible to find the same post 5 seconds later unless you commented on the thread or bookmarked it. Unfortunately I didn't do either.

Oh ok. I hope it's wrong.
