Romance in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is present in the main story and companion missions, requiring specific dialogue choices to progress relationships.
Romance progresses by following characters' questlines and choosing flirtatious dialogue options.
Official relationships are solidified by selecting a dialogue option with a heart crossed by an arrow.
Multiple romances seem possible without negative consequences, each character having a separate romantic path.
