Ubisoft releases Animus Hub, a central location for all Assassin's Creed games

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 successful franchises like Battlefield and Call of Duty, offering a single point of entry for various titles.

Players can launch 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 players with cosmetic items or in-game currency for purchasing outfits and weapons.

Beyond gameplay, Animus Hub provides access to enriched lore. Players can delve into journals, notes, and other narrative elements from Assassin's Creed's modern-day storyline, fostering a deeper connection to the overarching narrative and the franchise's interconnected world.

Assassin's Creed Shadows itself 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.
