🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Introduces Unexpected Attack on Titan Event for Holiday Season In a surprising collaboration that breaks usual expectations, Ubisoft has revealed an in-game partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Adventure Revealed According to the authorized release, "A mysterious encounter leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where hints of forbidden rituals and fearsome changes reverberate through the darkness." The storyline introduces a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who charges the characters with traveling into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a hidden cult. The mission focuses on "peculiar experiments and a fearsome enemy" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Iconic Settings and Transformations The preview showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The preview concludes with a powerful moment showing a character, presumably the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Prizes and Additional Material Players who finish the adventure will receive an special katana alongside numerous items concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-based attire for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Unique implements Survey Corps steed Third Free Story Update This update also adds the game's third free story content, titled "The Mystery." This playful mission partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic abilities: Naoe introduces a performative interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Crossovers This represents scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime series. The series previously included a 2020 crossover story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla unofficially included a quest that unmistakably referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
