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 approach of other game franchises like Battlefield and Call of Duty, providing a single launch point for various titles.
Players can readily launch Assassin's Creed Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla, Mirage, and the upcoming Hexe directly from Animus Hub. 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 outfits and weaponry.
Beyond game launching, Animus Hub offers enriched content. Players can delve into journals, notes, and other materials detailing Assassin's Creed's modern-day storyline, fostering a deeper understanding of the overarching narrative and connections between franchise installments.
Assassin's Creed Shadows transports players to feudal Japan, immersing them in the political machinations and conflicts of the samurai era. The game is slated for release on March 20, 2025, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
