🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Introduces Unexpected Attack on Titan Crossover for Thanksgiving In a surprising collaboration that defies conventional predictions, Ubisoft has revealed an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Mission Uncovered According to the formal statement, "A strange confrontation draws characters Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where hints of forbidden rituals and monstrous metamorphoses resonate through the obscurity." The storyline features a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her friend from a secret sect. The adventure focuses on "peculiar tests and a fearsome adversary" and is open to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Iconic Settings and Transformations The trailer showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser ends with a dramatic scene showing a character, presumably the captive, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Items and Extra Material Players who finish the quest will receive an unique katana in addition to multiple objects secreted throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-based attire for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special implements Survey Corps vehicle Newest Free Story Addition This update also adds the game's third no-cost story content, titled "The Enigma." This lighthearted mission partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap signature skills: Naoe debuts a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Earlier Japanese Animation Collaborations This marks not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime properties. The series previously included a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla informally featured a quest that unmistakably referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
