🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Introduces Bizarre Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a surprising crossover event that breaks traditional predictions, the game developer has unveiled an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost additional story content for Shadows players. Strange Mission Disclosed According to the formal announcement, "A mysterious confrontation pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where whispers of prohibited ceremonies and terrifying metamorphoses echo through the shadows." The storyline presents a "unusually garbed woman named Ada" who assigns the pair with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a secret group. The questline concentrates on "strange experiments and a monstrous adversary" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Changes The teaser showcases the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser finishes with a dramatic sequence showing a character, presumably the prisoner, transforming into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Items and Extra Content Players who finish the quest will receive an exclusive katana together with several objects hidden throughout the area in secret chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-based costume for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special arms Survey Corps vehicle Latest Free Story Addition This update also introduces the game's newest complimentary story content, titled "The Enigma." This humorous mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they swap signature skills: Naoe introduces a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-lethal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Enigma" also features a new environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Crossovers This represents scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with popular anime franchises. The series formerly featured a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly included a quest that unmistakably echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
