We’ve been hearing about Assassin’s Creed’s in-development central hub platform, Assassin’s Creed Infinity, for a while now, and though Ubisoft hasn’t revealed too many details in an official capacity yet, the company has issued some clarifications following recent leaks and rumours regarding what players can expected.
In a Reddit post, the Assassin’s Creed development team has stated that the upcoming Animus Hub – which is what its official name is seemingly going to be – isn’t going to have any paid subscriptions or any paid battle passes (contrary to prior reports), and that all rewards earned in the hub will be completely free. All “regular content and missions” will also be accessible to players at no additional cost.
Several questions are obviously still left unanswered, from how the Animus Hub will tie into the series’ mainline entries to how it will be monetized, but Ubisoft says more information will be shared “closer to the launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.”
Assassin’s Creed Shadows launches on February 14 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
