Ubisoft's new Animus Hub, a central control center for the Assassin's Creed franchise, simplifies access to the series' vast library of games. Launching alongside Assassin's Creed Shadows, the Hub acts as a central launchpad for titles like Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla, Mirage, and the upcoming Hexe.
Mirroring the approach of Battlefield and Call of Duty, Animus Hub provides a unified entry point. Beyond game launching, the Hub introduces unique "Anomalies"—special missions within Assassin's Creed Shadows—that reward players with cosmetic items or in-game currency for acquiring outfits and weaponry.
Animus Hub expands beyond gameplay, offering access to supplementary content. Players can delve into journals, notes, and other materials exploring Assassin's Creed's modern-day narrative, enriching their understanding of the overarching storyline and interconnections within the franchise.
Assassin's Creed Shadows transports players to feudal Japan, immersing them in the captivating world of samurai politics and conflict. The game is slated for release on March 20, 2025, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
