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.
PO Nantel and PG Roudet 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.
