Sometimes, game developers get to have a little fun. Well, most creators can do it – we covered the Minecraft Movie’s Herobrine easter egg not too long ago – but right now, all that matters is a wonderful little cat, and the dev who put it in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

The Minecraft Movie Was Forced To Remove Herobrine, Again
Movie or game, Herobrine seems to have trouble staying away.
Meet Nik Pantis, a production manager for Ubisoft. Someone whose blood, sweat, and tears went into creating the latest installment of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, and someone who loves their cat very much.
Now, meet Ghost. The cat whomst is loved very much.
A ghost getting to live forever? Fun. This phantasmal feline won’t be haunting you anytime soon, but would certainly appreciate a visit every now and then.
Fans are responding, well exactly as you’d expect – with one user’s reply saying: “This is now my number one reason to play Shadows.”

Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow, etc.
To be specific, Ghost is in Assassin’s Creed Shadows as a Bakaneko – a unique supernatural being that’s apparently very difficult to find. A literal ghost, the in-game cat is apparently quite friendly, and will “bond for life” according to the in-game description.
Even among players, information about ghost cat is pretty scarce – but it’s a nice find, with a cool bit of real-world history for those who can spot it.
The Easter Egg Rabbit Hole Of Assassin’s Creed
Easter eggs have been a long tradition of media, Assassin’s Creed and beyond. The aforementioned Minecraft Movie has a ton of them, and there were a few in Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
The ghost cat isn’t even the only easter egg to be found in Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Players have already spotted a Dark Souls easter egg, and one for Demon Slayer.

Some easter eggs have gone years without discovery. One in particular from Uncharted 4 is actually a nod to Assassin’s Creed, and nobody spotted it until the guy who made them pointed it out.
Are there more easter eggs to be found in Assassin’s Creed Shadows? It’s possible, who knows how many more developers slipped in fun details for fans to uncover?
And since Shadows is still relatively new, anything could be waiting, undiscovered, until the right player comes along and shares it with the world.
