Ubisoft has confirmed that the Canon Mode in Assassin's Creed Shadows can not be turned off once it's activated. Assassin's Creed Shadows is taking Ubisoft's long-running stealth action series to feudal Japan, answering years of fan demand.
The new game brings all kinds of interesting new features to the table, with one of the more intriguing additions being Canon Mode.
This means choosing Canon Mode locks players into it for the duration of the game, with no way to turn it off without starting a new save. The option has no impact on game difficulty and players can still swap between Assassin's Creed Shadows' two playable characters while out in the open world.
It makes sense not to let players turn Canon Mode on later in Assassin's Creed Shadows, as it's possible that player choice will potentially change things enough that the game will no longer be able to stick with the canon story
When Assassin's Creed Shadows launches on March 20, it will be interesting to see how many players decide to go with Canon Mode, and how many decide to choose their own dialogue options
