share 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ubisoft has set the record straight when it comes to their rebrand of Assassin’s Creed Infinity , now the Animus Hub , clarifying that it will not feature paid content, such as battle passes, for its upcoming games like Assassin’s Creed Shadows . The Animus Hub team has reached out via a post on the Assassin’s Creed Reddit , addressing the leaks and rumours circulating around the new home of all games in the franchise, alluding to it containing additional paid rewards for Ubisoft’s upcoming 2025 title, leading many to believe that the game will include some form of battle pass system. “It has come to our attention that inaccurate rumors have been circulating online regarding the upcoming Animus Hub (ex-codename Infinity),” the team wrote.
“We wanted to take this occasion to clarify that all the rewards available in the Animus Hub will be entirely free.” Advertisement ▼ The post highlights three main clarifications, outlining that the rewards available in the Animus Hub would be entirely free, that players would be able to access regular content at no additional cost, and that it will not feature paid subscriptions or paid battle pass systems. Ubisoft certainly seems to be taking some steps in the right direction when it comes to the monetisation for their games, with the recent announcement that the early access period and season pass for Assassin’s Creed Shadows were cancelled alongside a price drop for its collector’s edition, much to the relief of fans, who have grown increasingly disgruntled with the company’s usual convention of locking additional content behind a paywall .
It remains to be seen if Ubisoft will live up to their promises, when Assassin’s Creed Shadows eventually launches on 14 February 2025 , following a lengthy delay to “polish and refine [its] experience”.
