So it will improve the discoverability and accessibility of everything that we do on the franchise, combined with what I hope to be free offerings as well, allowing us to dig into other memories, a bit like we've done with the Crossover Stories for example, and make them available to a wider range of people. At the same time, if you're playing Red and Hexe comes out, then you'll see it available as a new DNA memory that's available for you and you can directly purchase it from the Infinity hub. the idea is for Red, for Hexe, to be available as box products, but the thing is, if you install them, the first thing you're going to see is the Infinity hub, and that will launch Red or Hexe.

Throughout tonight's pre-recorded Assassin's Creed reveal event, broadcast as part of Ubisoft Forward, the publisher described Infinity as both a 'hub' and a 'platform'. 'We will be better caretakers of our meta story, and this hub will help us accomplish that promise.' 'This is a momentous change for the franchise,' Coté acknowledged.
