Assassin’s Creed Shadows has a hidden island filled with cats

Assassin’s Creed Shadows has an island that’s filled with tons of cats, all of which you can pet to your heart’s content.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows isn’t just about jumping into action-packed combat. With the game having an open world as well as stunning visuals, sometimes it’s just nice to walk around to stop and smell the roses as you progress to your next mission.

One feature that makes the game exciting is, no doubt, being able to interact with animals you meet along the way. You can pet them and have them roam around in your hideout, adding to the fun.

However, if you’re thinking of wanting to hang out with cats or even being surrounded by them, there’s one island you wouldn’t want to miss out on.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows Cat Island will melt your heart

Okishima Island may look like a regular location on the map at first glance, but it’s actually a lovely place filled with a ton of adorable cats roaming around. This island exists in real life, too, in Japan. It has so many felines that it’s often called the “Town of Cats.”

On the map, this island can be found in the Omi province, just in the middle of Lake Biwa. To get to this location, you’ll want to grab a boat and sail to the northwest of Azuchi until you arrive on the island.

Once you get there, it’s all a cat’s paradise – expect to bump into plenty of cats, including kittens. Of course, you can have Yasuke or Naoe pet them all you like and even add them to your hideout if you don’t want to part ways.

This will essentially make them permanent residents of your home, so you’ll always be able to come back to them easily. 

In addition to cats, this location is where “The Wheel Turns” quest takes place in the action adventure game, one of the missions required to romance Lady Oichi.
