🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Introduces Bizarre Attack on Titan Event for Holiday Season In a unexpected crossover event that challenges usual predictions, Ubisoft has unveiled an digital collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Uncovered According to the official statement, "An unusual confrontation pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where whispers of banned practices and terrifying transformations echo through the darkness." The storyline presents a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who tasks the pair with venturing into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a secret sect. The questline concentrates on "peculiar tests and a terrifying enemy" and is open to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Recognizable Locations and Changes The teaser showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer finishes with a dramatic moment showing a character, likely the captive, transforming into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Items and Extra Material Players who finish the quest will receive an exclusive katana in addition to numerous objects concealed throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-themed costume for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special implements Survey Corps mount Third Free Story Content This patch also adds the game's latest free story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful quest teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic skills: Naoe reveals a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also features a new environmental puzzle that may finally explain some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Partnerships This signifies scarcely the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with famous anime series. The series previously included a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly included a quest that obviously echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
