Assassin’s Creed Shadows Immersive Mode, explained

Apr 05,2025 Author: Eleanor

The *Assassin’s Creed* series has long been celebrated for its deep dives into historical cultures, and *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* takes this a step further by immersing players in 16th Century Japan. A key feature of this game is its Immersive Mode, designed to enhance the authenticity of your experience. Here's what you need to know about this innovative feature.

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

Traditionally, *Assassin’s Creed* games modernize character dialogues, translating them into the player's chosen language. *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* mostly follows this pattern, though you might occasionally hear an NPC speak in their native tongue. However, with Immersive Mode activated, the game shifts gears to provide a more authentic experience. This mode locks the voiceover language to Japanese, reflecting the historical setting accurately. Additionally, you'll hear Portuguese spoken by Jesuits and Yasuke when interacting with them, adding another layer of realism.

This feature significantly enhances the immersion, making *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* feel more connected to the historical period it portrays. While previous games allowed for some level of immersion through language options, like the Arabic dub in *Mirage*, Immersive Mode in *Shadows* represents a significant advancement for the franchise.

Should You Turn On Immersive Mode in Assassin’s Creed Shadows?

The primary consideration when deciding to use 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 equally talented, ensuring a high-quality experience.

The game also offers comprehensive subtitle options, allowing you to read the dialogue in your preferred language. Immersive Mode can be toggled on or off at any time through the audio settings menu, requiring only a reload to the last save for the changes to take effect. Unlike Canon Mode, this setting does not lock you into a choice for the entire playthrough, making it risk-free to experiment with. If you're aiming for the most authentic historical experience, Immersive Mode is a fantastic choice that truly transports you back in time. We hope to see this feature in future *Assassin’s Creed* titles.

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