Ubisoft's new Animus Hub, launching alongside Assassin's Creed Shadows, centralizes access to the Assassin's Creed franchise. This unified platform mirrors the approaches of Battlefield and Call of Duty, providing a single launch point for various titles.
Players can initiate Assassin's Creed Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla, Mirage, and the upcoming Hexe directly through Animus Hub. The Hub also introduces unique Anomalies – special missions within Assassin's Creed Shadows – rewarding completion with cosmetic items or in-game currency for acquiring outfits and weaponry.
Beyond game launching, Animus Hub expands the Assassin's Creed experience. It offers access to journals, notes, and other supplementary materials delving into the franchise's modern-day narrative, enriching the overall understanding of the interconnected storylines.
Assassin's Creed Shadows transports players to feudal Japan, immersing them in the world of samurai conflict and intrigue. The game is set to debut on March 20, 2025, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
