Animus Hub
The Animus Hub was first announced as a new live-service title codenamed Assassin's Creed Infinity in April 2021. Following another round of sexual misconduct allegations and internal investigations across Ubisoft in 2020 and 2021, which saw the departure of many top-level executives as well as attrition from its studios, Ubisoft opted to merge operations of the Montreal and Quebec studios under one administrative body, with Quebec taking the lead on the Assassin's Creed series. This led to a collaboration to develop the "most ambitious game" in the series to date: Assassin's Creed Infinity. Infinity was initially envisioned to be similar to Fortnite and Grand Theft Auto Online, in that it would be more of a service, rather than a game, intended to be an entry point for future Assassin's Creed titles for players as well as to simplify the development of these games across Ubisoft's studios.
