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.
Mirroring the approach of Battlefield and Call of Duty, Animus Hub streamlines gameplay access. Beyond game launching, the Hub introduces unique "Anomalies," special missions within Assassin's Creed Shadows. Completing these Anomalies rewards players with cosmetic items or in-game currency for acquiring outfits and weaponry.
Animus Hub expands beyond gameplay, offering enriched lore experiences. Players can delve into journals, notes, and other materials detailing Assassin's Creed's modern-day narrative, fostering a deeper understanding of the franchise's interconnected storylines and world-building.
Assassin's Creed Shadows transports players to feudal Japan, immersing them in the captivating world of samurai conflicts and intrigue. The game is set to debut on March 20, 2025, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
