Assassin’s Creed Shadows is seemingly not out of hot water with gamers just yet, although this time, the flak seems to have been mostly unwarranted. Earlier this week, rumors popped up on Reddit claiming to reveal the Assassin’s Creed Shadows Animus Hub, which was supposedly the upcoming RPG’s dedicated launcher, and a host of in-game season passes and rewards. The leak purports to detail the first free battle pass, which is referred to as “Eye in the Dark” and will consist of 20 reward tiers. Completing the battle pass allegedly rewards 9,050 Isu coins, which can be used to purchase various cosmetics in the form of character, weapon, and mount customization options. Somewhat comically, there appear to be in-game collaborations with the likes of VISA, Red Bull, Intel, BAPE Clothing and Sprecher, although how these will play out in the game is a mystery. This news made quite a stir when it was first announced, since Ubisoft was very clear when it confirmed the game’s delay last month that there would be no season passes in Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

As it turns out, though, the rumors were kicking up enough speculation about the return of paid subscriptions, battle passes, and season passes that Ubisoft took to its official Discord server to address the rumors directly. Although Ubisoft confirmed that the Animus Hub is a piece of software it has been working on, all the content and rewards offered in the Animus Hub will be free content. Ubisoft was, however, careful with its words, not denying the existence of season passes and battle passes, instead only commenting that those passes will not be paid. Additionally, Ubisoft confirmed that there will be additional in-game content available for free in the Animus Hub.

In Ubisoft’s own words:

It has come to our attention that inaccurate rumors have been circulating online regarding the upcoming Animus Hub (codename Infinity). We wanted to take this occasion to clarify that:

• All the rewards available in the Animus Hub will be entirely free.
• There are no paid subscriptions or paid battle pass featured in the Animus Hub.
• Players will have access to regular content & missions at no extra cost.

We will unveil more details about it closer to the launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Thank you!

One can’t help but wonder what the purpose of the Animus Hub is if Ubisoft doesn’t intend to use it as a monetization vehicle, although there seem to be rewards available in the Animus Hub that are purchased with in-game currency. The full list of cosmetics and assets seemingly available via the Animus Hub can be seen in the Reddit post detailing the leak, however the images in the Imgur album have since been removed by Ubisoft via a DMCA takedown. The only two remaining images available from the Reddit post are embedded above, and they depict Yasuke in the Animus Hub and the design on the Isu coins.

According to CRN, AMD is looking to make some cuts to its workforce of approximately 26,000 employees. The company hasn’t announced a specific number, but in a comment to the publication AMD said that “as a part of aligning our resources with our largest growth opportunities, we are taking a number of targeted steps that will unfortunately result in reducing our global workforce by approximately 4 percent“. In actual headcount numbers that should be just north of a thousand people that the company will let go. It’s not clear which departments or divisions at AMD will be affected the most, but the cutback appears to be a response to AMD’s mixed quarterly report.

AMD’s statement also doesn’t make it clear on exactly what the company will be putting its focus on moving forward, but CRN seems to suggest that the embedded and gaming business is where AMD is struggling. That said, it’s not likely that AMD will put an increased focus on those businesses, but instead the company is more likely to invest more into its server products, least not to try and catch up with NVIDIA in the AI server market. According to CRN, AMD has also seen a strong demand in AI PCs, such as the Ryzen AI 300-series of mobile SoCs, so it’s possible AMD will put an extra effort into is mobile product range. The Ryzen 9000-series is thankfully also doing well, so it’s unlikely there will be any big cutbacks here. We already know that AMD is not going after NVIDIA with a new flagship GPU to compete with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5000-series flagship SKU, so it’s possible that the company will cut back on some people in its consumer GPU team for the time being, but this should become clear come CES in January.
