Ubisoft's new Animus Hub, launching alongside Assassin's Creed Shadows, centralizes access to the entire Assassin's Creed franchise. This unified platform mirrors the approaches used by Battlefield and Call of Duty, providing a single launch point for games like Assassin's Creed Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla, Mirage, and the upcoming Hexe.
Beyond game launching, Animus Hub introduces "Anomalies," special missions within Assassin's Creed Shadows rewarding players with cosmetic items and in-game currency for acquiring outfits and weapons.
The Hub also expands the lore experience. Players can delve into journals, notes, and other materials detailing Assassin's Creed's modern-day storyline, enriching their understanding of the franchise's interconnected narratives.
Assassin's Creed Shadows itself transports players to feudal Japan, immersing them in the world of samurai conflicts and intrigue. The game is slated for release on March 20, 2025, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
