Today, Ubisoft is updating Assassin’s Creed Shadows to version 1.1.1, which not only addresses multiple bugs, but adds a mission that sets up the Claws of Awaji expansion launching on September 16. However, a new addition to the Animus Hub, called Sanctuary, is offering players something they may not have known they wanted: a cat companion dressed as iconic Assassin’s Creed hero Ezio Auditore da Firenze.
The Sanctuary project in the Animus Hub will let players unlock four items based on the Assassin from the Italian Renaissance, with Rooftop Cat–a white cat donning Ezio’s robes–included among them. We’re hoping that not only can you hang out with this new Ezio cat, but you also can call it over by saying “requiescat in pspsps.”
Projects within the Animus Hub are the Assassin’s Creed equivalent of the “battle pass,” where in-game experience unlocks cosmetic items that can be used in the main game. The full list of items included in the Project Sanctuary pass is as follows:
- Eagle Head kurasigama
- Renaissance robe and hood
- Rooftop Cat pet
- Charm of Firenze trinket
Update 1.1.1 for Assassin’s Creed Shadows will also give players access to a new bo staff weapon, which unlocks during the previously mentioned setup mission for the upcoming DLC. Among the update’s bug fixes, meanwhile, are changes to the Hideout that allow for better customization, as well as an end to some tutorials that would repeat after unlocking Yasuke for the first time.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is available now for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
