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 weapons.

The Hub expands the Assassin's Creed experience further by offering access to journals, notes, and other lore from the franchise's modern-day storyline. This enriched content deepens player understanding of the overarching narrative and connections between games.

Assassin's Creed Shadows itself transports players to feudal Japan, immersing them in the world of samurai conflict and intrigue. The game is slated for release on March 20, 2025, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
