Ubisoft Unveils 'Animus Hub': Gateway to Assassin's Creed Universe

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 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. Completing these Anomalies rewards players with cosmetic items or in-game currency for acquiring outfits and weaponry.

The Hub also expands the lore experience. Players can delve into journals, notes, and other materials detailing Assassin's Creed's modern-day narrative, enriching their understanding of the overarching storyline and connections between franchise entries.

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.
