Ubisoft has announced that the highly anticipated game Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released in a few weeks, highlighting as one of its most innovative features the creation of the Hideout, a completely customizable gameplay space for the protagonists Yasuke and Naoe. This new gameplay mode will allow players to design their base of operations, a feature that promises to revolutionize the experience within the franchise.
The Hideout will provide players with over an acre of land to build and customize to their liking, comparable to the freedom found in simulation games like The Sims. According to Dany St-Laurent, associate director of systems, this ambition to offer an unprecedented building experience is a bold step for the series, which has tested different types of bases in previous titles. The possibilities seem endless, as players will be able to create anything from a modest campsite to a summer palace surrounded by nature.
Another step towards adding an additional layer of RPG
To customize the Hideout, players will need to collect resources such as wood and minerals from an open world, as well as recover decorations for various areas, including the forge and spaces that enhance health regeneration. This RPG approach adds an additional layer of strategy, as the player needs to manage their resources and upgrades.
In addition to the customization of the space, interactions between characters will be introduced, creating a richer narrative filled with fun moments and relationships among the protagonists. Among the new features is the ability to unlock pets through interaction with the game’s wildlife, which adds a playful and charming aspect to the experience.
Ubisoft has also announced a collaboration with Red Bull, which offers gameplay enhancements beyond cosmetics, which may indicate a focus on actively improving the gaming experience. As the release date approaches, expectations among fans of the saga continue to rise. Even if there are already people playing.
