Embarking on the journey to discover and unlock every pet in Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a rewarding endeavor, requiring exploration across diverse landscapes. Contrary to what one might assume, the game offers numerous options for acquiring pets beyond initial appearances. Once a pet is unlocked, it can be placed in your Hideout, allowing you to interact with it at your leisure. This feature stands out as a charming addition that differentiates this installment from its predecessors.
In my opinion, this change represents a significant improvement in Assassin’s Creed Shadows—surpassing even enhancements in stealth mechanics. While stealth offers tactical advantages, the ability to foster a dynamic collection of pets enhances the gameplay experience. Your Hideout transforms into a sanctuary not only for familiar companions such as cats and dogs but also for more exotic creatures.
