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 by Battlefield and Call of Duty. Through Animus Hub, players can seamlessly launch any of these titles. Furthermore, the Hub will feature unique missions called "Anomalies," exclusive to Assassin's Creed Shadows. Completing these Anomalies rewards players with cosmetic items or in-game currency for acquiring new outfits and weapons.
Beyond game launching, Animus Hub provides access to supplementary content, including journals and notes detailing Assassin's Creed's modern-day storyline. This enriched experience fosters 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.
