Assassin's Creed Animus Hub
The Animus Hub serves as the new central gateway for the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Launched alongside AC Shadows, the Hub required a sophisticated, high-tech aesthetic rooted in the core themes of DNA and genetic memory. This animated sequence functions as the game’s cinematic introduction, seamlessly transitioning players into the new interface.
We created the HUB transition intro and developed the DNA Search deployment sequence in collaboration with the game team.
The animation principles established through this work later defined the game’s UI motion and were shared across all studios as a reference for UI animations and cinematics.
Animus Hub Bootup Logos
We designed and animated the Ubisoft and Anvil Engine logos for the game’s boot-up sequence, translating the same DNA deployment language into a bright-mode variation.
These animations extended the system into the brand layer, maintaining visual and motion continuity from boot-up to the in-game UI.
