Although players will have to wait before they can play the “Assassin’s Creed Shadows” expansion, titled “Claws of Awaji”, it has a lot of promising aspects. The potential benefits of this ambitious DLC could extend beyond just its storyline. Notably, “Shadows” played a significant role in introducing the franchise’s Animus Hub system, which is expected to be a key feature in future Assassin’s Creed games.
The Animus Hub aims to enhance various aspects of modern Assassin’s Creed titles, such as accessibility, rewards for players, and the way the current-day storyline of the series unfolds. The base game of “Shadows” laid a solid foundation for this system, but the upcoming “Claws of Awaji” could be the perfect platform to fully establish the Animus Hub’s impact.
