Assassin's Creed's Mysterious 'Infinity' Finally Revealed

Ubisoft has unveiled the Animus Hub for the upcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows, a significant feature set to redefine how players access Assassin's Creed content. This hub will serve as a launch point for Shadows and future titles like Codename Hexe and Codename Invictus. Unlike a simple game launcher, the Animus Hub will allow players to dive into the main campaign and access other owned Assassin's Creed titles directly. There will also be a "Projects" section for ongoing content, including narrative missions and free rewards that connect to the game's modern-day story. This interconnected approach aims to create a continuous narrative thread throughout future games. Assassin's Creed Shadows is now scheduled for release on March 20, 2025, following a delay.
