Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Understanding Immersive Mode

The *Assassin’s Creed* franchise has long been celebrated for immersing players in diverse historical cultures. With *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, Ubisoft takes a significant leap forward by setting the game in 16th Century Japan, enhancing immersion through a new feature known as Immersive Mode. Here’s a comprehensive guide to understanding this innovative feature.
What Does Immersive Mode Do in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?
Traditionally, *Assassin’s Creed* games have modernized character dialogue, with characters rarely speaking in their native languages. *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* largely follows this pattern, though you might occasionally hear an NPC speak in their native tongue. However, Immersive Mode revolutionizes this aspect by enhancing authenticity and historical accuracy.
When activated, Immersive Mode locks the game’s voiceover language to Japanese, reflecting the period's setting. Additionally, you’ll hear Portuguese dialogue in contexts involving the Jesuits and Yasuke’s interactions with them. This feature significantly boosts the game’s immersion, making the historical setting feel more real and true to life. While previous games allowed for some level of immersion through language options, such as the Arabic dub in *Mirage*, Immersive Mode in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* marks a substantial advancement for the series.
Should You Turn On Immersive Mode in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* offers extensive subtitle options, allowing you to read dialogue in your preferred language while enjoying the authentic voiceovers. Immersive Mode can be toggled on or off in the audio settings menu at any time, requiring only a reload to the last save for the changes to take effect. Unlike Canon Mode, which locks your choice for the entire playthrough, Immersive Mode offers flexibility, making it risk-free to experiment with.
If you're aiming for the most authentic experience possible, Immersive Mode is an excellent choice to truly transport yourself back to 16th Century Japan. We hope to see this feature in future *Assassin’s Creed* titles, enhancing the series' commitment to historical immersion.
*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
