🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Introduces Surprising Attack on Titan Event for Holiday Season In a unexpected collaboration that defies conventional expectations, the game developer has revealed an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, including free additional story content for Shadows players. Strange Mission Revealed According to the formal announcement, "An unusual encounter draws characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where rumors of banned rituals and terrifying changes resonate through the shadows." The narrative introduces a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with traveling into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her friend from a hidden cult. The questline centers on "peculiar experiments and a fearsome foe" and is open to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Iconic Places and Changes The preview features the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The preview finishes with a striking moment showing a character, presumably the captive, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Items and Additional Features Players who successfully complete the quest will acquire an exclusive katana together with several items secreted throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Unique implements Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Update This patch also introduces the game's latest no-cost story content, titled "A Puzzlement." This humorous mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic skills: Naoe reveals a performative variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Partnerships This represents not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime properties. The series earlier included a 2020 collaborative story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla informally contained a quest that obviously nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
