The *Assassin’s Creed* series has long captivated players by transporting them through various historical settings and cultures. With *Assassin’s Creed Shadows*, Ubisoft introduces fans to the rich tapestry of 16th Century Japan through an innovative feature known as Immersive Mode. Here’s a comprehensive look at what this mode entails and how it enhances your experience in the game.

What Does Immersive Mode Do in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

Traditionally, *Assassin’s Creed* games modernize the dialogue, with characters speaking in the player's chosen language rather than their historical native tongues. While *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* largely follows this pattern, it introduces Immersive Mode to elevate authenticity. When activated, this mode ensures that the game's characters speak in the languages they would have used during the time period. This means you'll hear Japanese from the majority of the NPCs, reflecting the setting, and Portuguese when interacting with the Jesuits and Yasuke, the game's historical African samurai.

Immersive Mode significantly enhances the game's realism, allowing players to feel more connected to the historical context. While previous *Assassin’s Creed* titles like *Mirage* offered similar immersion through optional language settings, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* makes this feature more accessible and impactful.

The primary consideration for enabling Immersive Mode is the potential to miss out on the performances of the English voice cast. However, the Japanese and Portuguese voice actors in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* are reportedly equally compelling, ensuring a high-quality auditory experience.

The game also offers robust subtitle options, allowing you to read dialogue in your preferred language while still enjoying the authentic voiceovers. Immersive Mode can be toggled on or off within the audio settings menu at any point, with changes taking effect after reloading your last save. Unlike Canon Mode, which locks your choice for the entire playthrough, Immersive Mode offers flexibility, letting you experiment without commitment.

For those seeking the most authentic historical experience, Immersive Mode in *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is a must-try. It not only enriches the gameplay but also sets a precedent for future titles in the franchise to continue exploring such immersive features.

*Assassin’s Creed Shadows* is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
