Assassin’s Creed Shadows Gay Relationships Explained

Indeed, *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* does feature gay relationships. While the term might suggest multiple options, the game includes one specific gay romance. Throughout your journey, protagonist Naoe will encounter various characters, one of whom is Katsuhime. Players have the opportunity to pursue a romantic relationship with her. Although romance isn't a central focus of *Shadows*, offering this option adds a layer of depth and personal choice for players interested in exploring such narratives.

How to Romance Katsuhime

Katsuhime becomes part of your story during the main campaign and later joins the League. While the overarching plot remains unaffected by your dialogue choices, selecting the right options can lead to a romantic connection with her. Here's how you can successfully romance Katsuhime:

• During "Showdown in Sakamoto," choose the dialogue option "I like your teppo."
• In "Letter from Katsuhime," select "It offers time with me."
• When you reach "The Tales of Genin," opt for "I do enjoy your company."
• During "Diary of Lady Rokkaku," choose "Yes, join us."
• Finally, in "The Jounin Pillow Book," select "Let’s find out" followed by "Yes, forever."

If you navigate these dialogue choices successfully, you'll unlock a brief romance scene between Naoe and Katsuhime, concluding their storyline.
