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 including Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla, Mirage, and the upcoming Hexe.
Mirroring the approach of Battlefield and Call of Duty, Animus Hub streamlines gameplay access. Beyond launching games, the Hub introduces special missions called Anomalies, exclusive to Assassin's Creed Shadows. Completing these Anomalies rewards players with cosmetic items or in-game currency, usable for acquiring outfits and weapons.
Animus Hub extends beyond game launching, offering enriched lore experiences. Players can delve into journals, notes, and other supplementary materials detailing Assassin's Creed's modern-day storyline, fostering a deeper understanding of the overarching narrative connecting the franchise's various installments.
Assassin's Creed Shadows transports players to feudal Japan, immersing them in the captivating world of samurai conflicts and intrigue. The game is slated for release on March 20, 2025, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
