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.
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."
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...
