A Ubisoft official revealed quite a few new details about Assassin's Creed Shadows in a recent interview, including the confirmation that the upcoming game will feature same-sex romance options.

However, Ubisoft is moving away from playersexual NPCs, and will instead be focusing on offering different romance opportunities for Naoe and Yasuke to pursue. This change largely stems from the fact that both characters have their own identities and roles in the story, unlike their counterparts from Valhalla...
