Ubisoft has released a video showcasing the impressive depth of customization available for the player's hideout in Assassin's Creed Shadows.  This haven serves as much more than just a place to rest; it's a dynamic, evolving space that reflects your progress and personal style.

Key features of the hideout:

• Spanning over an acre, your customizable hideout is built using town-building elements, offering an unparalleled level of personalization.  From structures and roads to foliage and ponds, the possibilities seem vast. You can even introduce local flora, fauna, and a myriad of Japanese decorative elements.
• Populate your sanctuary with various pets and wildlife, adding a touch of life and personality to your surroundings.
• Constructing and upgrading requires resources – wood, minerals, and crops – found throughout Japan.  Each new building or upgrade demands a specific quantity of these resources, along with in-game currency known as “mons.”
• Acquire decorative items through completing missions, contracts, or activities.  Alternatively, you can purchase them from merchant stalls or plunder them from enemy territory.
• Numerous external elements offer gameplay advantages to aid your progression, many of which can be upgraded over time.
• The main buildings encompass the main house, stables (for managing scout smuggling inventory), the hermitage (for claiming safe houses across Japan), the forge, the study, and the dojo.
• Various rooms and pavilions can be directly connected, creating a seamless flow throughout your personalized space.
• Unlock the ability to place cats and dogs of various breeds in your hideout by interacting with them.
• Expand your wildlife options by completing Sumi-e painting activities in the open world.
• Access your hideout after completing the introductory sequence.
• Expanding and enhancing your hideout unlocks new dialogue opportunities with allies.
