Ubisoft's new Animus Hub, a central control center for the Assassin's Creed franchise, simplifies access to the series' extensive library. Launching alongside Assassin's Creed Shadows, the Hub acts as a central launchpad for games like Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla, Mirage, and the upcoming Hexe.
This approach mirrors the strategies used in franchises like Battlefield and Call of Duty. Through Animus Hub, players can seamlessly launch any of the aforementioned titles. Furthermore, the Hub will feature exclusive Anomalies – special missions within Assassin's Creed Shadows. Completing these Anomalies rewards players with cosmetic items or in-game currency, usable for acquiring new outfits and weaponry.
Beyond game launching, Animus Hub provides access to supplementary content. Players can delve into journals, notes, and other materials exploring Assassin's Creed's modern-day storyline, enriching their understanding of the overarching narrative and connections between different entries in the series.
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.
