The Hub appears in the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]''. The main area consists of five rooms connected via passageways. The central room features a stained glass floor. There are [[chests]] in three of the rooms connected to the central room. One of the chests always contains a [[Gold Shield]], one the [[Crossbow]], and the last one contains a random item. There is a blue [[Magic Bone]] in one of the passageways connecting the rooms. The final room has a spiral staircase which leads to a circular room with dragon statues and three exits, each presumably leading to a different level.
