Very much lively hype train has several bolts on the Assassin’s Creed Shadows platform- not hooked to any gameplay or leak info about the story, though. Oh no, this is all about the hideouts. Those sweet little cozy murder dens where an assassin plots, sharpens her blades, and gulp down those cups of unattended tea.
Rolls in the official Assassin’s Creed Twitter account tweeting about an absurdly detailed hideout created by fan creator @Finbars9. The worth-staring image portrays a moody lantern-lit setup most likely from Japan’s feudal era, including eagle statues. What a caption: “Now that’s a hideout worthy of the League. 🦅.” And honestly? They could not be more right.
Here’s the kicker-Ubisoft didn’t just flaunt and walk away. They literally threw down the gauntlet for the fandom. “Want to show off your own? Share yours below.” You know the AC community has never backed down from a creative throwdown.
But for where are the replies? Surprisingly…crickets. At least for now. Maybe everybody is too busy scrambling to find something better than @Finbars9’s. Or maybe-just maybe-the internet and the League combined form enough pressure to shut everyone up.
But let’s be real. This is Assassin’s Creed we are talking about. The very same fanbase that recreates landmarks in Minecraft and writes 10,000-word essays on hidden blade mechanics. It is just a matter of time until the replies weight down with some serious setups-samurai armor displays, hidden trapdoors, maybe even a fully stocked sake bar.
And hey, if you’re thinking, “Wait, since when do we design hideouts in AC?”-great question. Hideouts are not even a thing yet for Shadows, but the hype is changing the rulebook. Greater customization has been promised by Ubisoft, and if this tweet is anything to go by, players may even get to customize their assassins’ HQ down to the last bloodstained rug.
So keep an eye on that tweet if you have a super epic hideout idea (or are just ready to lurk and steal everyone else’s). Creative madness is coming, and when it does? It’s going to be legendary.
