The new Assassin's Creed Animus Hub is exactly the kind of thing I expected it to be: part launcher, part lore and story hub, and a sensible central point

Assassin's Creed Infinity lineup of characters.

Launching with Assassin’s Creed Shadows on March 20 this year is something called The Animus Hub. Though, technically, it’s launching ‘in’ Shadows - it still looks exactly how I thought it would.

Previously referred to as ‘Assassin‘s Creed Infinity’, it’s a hub for the series built to be a dedicated home for the modern-day storyline - something that has, at times, sat awkwardly in between the main adventure in the historical periods - but also serves as a place to start games from too.
