🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Unexpected Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a bizarre crossover event that breaks usual predictions, the game developer has revealed an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Questline Disclosed According to the official release, "An unusual encounter leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where whispers of banned rituals and monstrous metamorphoses resonate through the shadows." The narrative features a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who charges the pair with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a hidden group. The adventure focuses on "bizarre experiments and a terrifying adversary" and is open to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Iconic Locations and Transformations The preview features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The preview ends with a powerful moment showing a character, presumably the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Rewards and Extra Features Players who finish the quest will receive an special katana alongside numerous items secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Unique weapons Survey Corps steed Third Free Story Update This release also brings the game's latest no-cost story content, titled "The Enigma." This humorous adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature abilities: Naoe introduces a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Earlier Anime Partnerships This marks hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime series. The series previously featured a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly included a quest that clearly nodded to the famous series One-Punch Man.
