Animus Hub, formerly known as Assassin's Creed: Infinity, is an upcoming game hub for the Assassin's Creed series. Expected to launch coinciding with the release of Assassin's Creed: Shadows, it will be a live-service platform which hosts the modern day storyline, serve as an entry point to the wider franchise for newcomers, and eventually span numerous historical settings and incorporate multiplayer.

Development[]
The platform's conceptual title was first leaked on 7 July 2021 and reported by Bloomberg,[1] following which Ubisoft acknowledged the leaked project as genuine.[2] During an earnings call in October, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot revealed that Infinity will not be a free-to-play title.[3] During the 2022 Assassin's Creed Ubisoft Forward showcase, Marc-Alexis Côté clarified that Infinity would not be a game but a hub for all future games in the series as a starting point for players and would facilitate multiplayer in the future. Infinity will operate in-universe as an Animus for players to operate as they navigate the different time periods.[4] Two years later, in a mid-June 2024 interview, Côté revealed that the platform had been renamed to "Animus Hub".[5]
