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 experience. Players can seamlessly launch any of the aforementioned games from a single location. Furthermore, the Hub features exclusive Anomalies – special missions within Assassin's Creed Shadows – rewarding players with cosmetic items or in-game currency for purchasing outfits and weapons.
Beyond game launching, Animus Hub offers enriched content. Players can delve into journals, notes, and other materials exploring Assassin's Creed's modern-day storyline, providing a deeper understanding of the overarching narrative connecting the franchise's various installments.
Assassin's Creed Shadows itself transports players to feudal Japan, immersing them in the political machinations and conflicts of the samurai era. The game is set to release on March 20, 2025, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
