The Assassin's Creed franchise has consistently transported players into richly detailed historical settings. With Assassin's Creed Shadows, Ubisoft introduces groundbreaking authenticity through its Immersive Mode feature, offering unprecedented cultural immersion in feudal Japan.
Exploring Immersive Mode in Assassin's Creed Shadows
While previous entries modernized dialogue delivery, Assassin's Creed Shadows' Immersive Mode revolutionizes linguistic authenticity by locking character speech to historically accurate languages:
- Core conversations occur in Japanese
- Portuguese dialogue appears during Jesuit interactions
- Yasuke's communications reflect appropriate linguistic transitions
Unlike partial localization approaches in prior titles, this comprehensive language system provides unprecedented historical fidelity. Players still benefit from customizable subtitles while experiencing fully authentic vocal performances.

The mode's flexibility stands out:
- Toggle anytime via audio settings
- Changes apply after reloading current save
- No permanent commitment required
The Japanese and Portuguese voice casts deliver exceptional performances rivaling their English counterparts. With comprehensive subtitle support and zero mechanical drawbacks, Immersive Mode offers pure atmospheric enhancement for players seeking maximum historical authenticity.
Assassin's Creed Shadows is currently available across next-generation platforms.
