🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Bizarre AoT Event for Holiday Season In a surprising collaboration that challenges usual forecasts, Ubisoft has announced an in-game crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, providing complimentary extra story content for Shadows players. Strange Mission Disclosed According to the formal announcement, "A strange confrontation draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where rumors of prohibited practices and monstrous transformations resonate through the darkness." The storyline features a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who charges the characters with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a clandestine group. The questline centers on "peculiar tests and a fearsome enemy" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Familiar Settings and Metamorphoses The trailer features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer ends with a dramatic scene showing a character, likely the hostage, transforming into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Rewards and Additional Features Players who accomplish the adventure will receive an exclusive katana together with multiple objects secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-based outfit for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Unique implements Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Update This patch also introduces the game's third no-cost story episode, titled "The Enigma." This humorous mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive abilities: Naoe debuts a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a new environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline. Earlier Anime Crossovers This represents hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated 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. Additionally, Valhalla informally contained a quest that obviously nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
