I turned my Assassin's Creed Shadows hideout into my personal cat and tanuki sanctuary, human allies be damned


Eurogamer goes hands on with Assassin's Creed Shadows' Hideout base and its Sims-like building mode.

For those, you'll need to keep an eye out for special sumi-e moments, where Yasuke and Naoe will whip out an ink brush and paper scroll to capture these creatures as a painting - provided they can creep close enough to do so without disturbing the scene in front of them. | Image credit: Eurogamer/Ubisoft Key rooms such as the Hiroma (the heart of your Hideout), stables, forge and dojo can be upgraded by collecting various materials you'll find in treasure boxes on your adventures - again, very like Valhalla - but if you decide you need to either move or destroy one of these buildings in the future, fear not - you'll recoup your costs if you tear it down, and there's no real penalty for fiddling or tweaking your setup. He cites Japan's regional craft and produce specialities as being a big inspiration for this, as "usually this makes a form of gift that you can bring back to your friends and family and share your travel and be reminded of what you did there," and it's this feeling they wanted to capture in Shadows.
