Animus Hub revealed: Ubisoft's new Assassin's Creed start screen and modern day story wrapper that's definitely not just another launcher


After years of questions and rumours, Ubisoft have finally unveiled the Animus Hub, formerly known as Assassin's Creed Infinity, and we're here to explain all.

She continues: "My worst nightmare was to suffer from another level of launch reception, so our players first and foremost need a direct path to go straight to their beloved games, not a standalone launcher." The first thing you'll see when you start Assassin's Creed Shadows is the Memories section of the Animus Hub, which shows all supported games in a scrolling historical timeline. | Image credit: Eurogamer/Ubisoft The Projects section of the Animus Hub is an overarching progression layer where you'll be able to take on additional in-game missions to earn "free rewards and pieces of narrative all wrapped up in our new modern-day story," content director Ben Swinden tells me.
