🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Unexpected Attack on Titan Crossover for Thanksgiving In a unexpected partnership that challenges conventional predictions, the game developer has revealed an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, offering free extra story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Questline Disclosed According to the authorized statement, "A strange confrontation draws characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where hints of banned rituals and monstrous transformations reverberate through the darkness." The narrative presents a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who charges the duo with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a secret group. The adventure centers on "strange tests and a fearsome enemy" and is open to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Iconic Locations and Transformations The trailer showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview finishes with a striking moment showing a character, presumably the captive, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Prizes and Bonus Material Players who successfully complete the quest will acquire an special katana in addition to several items secreted throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also includes premium Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired outfit for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Unique implements Survey Corps vehicle Latest Free Story Addition This release also adds the game's third free story addition, titled "The Mystery." This lighthearted quest teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature abilities: Naoe reveals a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a original environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Earlier Anime Collaborations This represents scarcely the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with well-known anime properties. The series previously included a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla informally contained a quest that obviously echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
