What is the Animus Hub in Assassin's Creed Shadows?
Confused about the Animus Hub in Assassin’s Creed Shadows? Upon starting Assassin’s Creed Shadows you’ll be greeted with the Animus Hub, a unique interface based on the Animus virtual reality memory-accessing machine, which has been a part of the franchise’s modern gameplay since the beginning. The Animus Hub acts as a launcher for Assassin’s Creed Shadows and all other recent Assassin’s Creed games, and using it might feel slightly unusual at first, especially if you own older titles. After all, you presumably bought AC Shadows to play as a shinobi and samurai in Japan – so why is this launcher suddenly prompting you to start Assassin’s Creed Odyssey?
Since this launcher is set to define all AC games moving forwards, it’s worth getting used to it early. In this guide, we’ll give some quick explanations on all of the features in the Animus Hub in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
