Ubisoft Unveils Animus Hub, Unifying Assassin's Creed Universe

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 centralized approach mirrors the strategies used by successful franchises like Battlefield and Call of Duty. Through Animus Hub, players can seamlessly transition between various Assassin's Creed titles. The Hub also introduces unique "Anomalies," special missions within Assassin's Creed Shadows. Completing these Anomalies rewards players with cosmetic items or in-game currency for acquiring weapons and outfits.

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 allows players to delve deeper into 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.
