Ubisoft's new Animus Hub simplifies access to the Assassin's Creed franchise. Launching alongside Assassin's Creed Shadows, this central platform acts as a launchpad for various titles.

Similar to the approach used by Battlefield and Call of Duty, Animus Hub provides a single access point to Assassin's Creed Origins, Odyssey, Valhalla, Mirage, and the upcoming Hexe. Beyond game launching, the Hub features 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 weapons.

Animus Hub expands beyond game access, offering supplementary content. 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 transports players to feudal Japan, immersing them in the world of samurai conflict and intrigue. The game is set to release on March 20, 2025, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
