AC Shadows associate game director Simon Lemay-Comtois described the Animus Hub as “the one thing that will keep going in time” during an interview with GamesRadar+. He was intentionally circumspect about specifics, but hinted that “things that are set up in Shadows should keep happening in other projects and evolve and move forward. I cannot say much beyond that, but if you think of Shadows as one thing and Animus Hub as another, the Animus Hub is overlooking future games as well. It’s not just a Shadows thing.”
Will the Animus Hub replace traditional modern-day sequences? Might we see another protagonist in the vein of Layla or Desmond advance the story outside the Animus? Or — to indulge a more skeptical view — is this an attempt to layer persistent, live-service-style continuity onto primarily single-player experiences? We’ll learn more as the franchise moves into Assassin’s Creed Hexe and beyond.
New Assassin’s Creed Shadows update includes a major Odyssey Easter egg, and developers say they have a Kassandra-focused story in reserve: “We might reveal it at some point.”
