Ubisoft recently addressed rumors surrounding the Animus Hub, the new name for the Assassin’s Creed Infinity project. The company clarified that all rewards in the Animus Hub will be entirely free, with no paid subscriptions or battle passes. This announcement came in response to inaccurate rumors spreading online, which suggested otherwise. Ubisoft emphasized that players will have access to regular content and missions at no extra cost.
The Animus Hub will serve as a central hub for future Assassin’s Creed games, similar to the Call of Duty HQ launcher. Players will be able to unlock a variety of cosmetics for their characters and weapons, including futuristic weapon skins, armor, and mythological mounts. The hub will also feature downloadable content, such as missions, which will be added regularly at no extra cost.
Ubisoft’s community manager posted the clarification on Reddit, stating that the company wanted to set the record straight. The original leak suggested that there would be a paid battle pass, but Ubisoft confirmed that this is not the case. The company plans to reveal more details about the Animus Hub closer to the launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, which has been delayed to February 14, 2025.
The Animus Hub is expected to enhance the player experience by providing a centralized location for accessing new content and missions. The hub will also allow players to control co-protagonist Yasuke inside the hub itself, adding an extra layer of immersion. Ubisoft aims to introduce a new direction for the storylines set in modern times, making the Animus Hub a key feature of the upcoming game.
