In a surprising collaboration that defies traditional expectations, Ubisoft has announced an in-game crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary additional story content for Shadows players.

Peculiar Questline Uncovered

According to the official release, "A mysterious encounter pulls heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh adventure, where rumors of prohibited ceremonies and terrifying transformations resonate through the shadows." The narrative presents a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who charges the duo with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a secret sect.

The questline concentrates on "peculiar experiments and a terrifying foe" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.

Iconic Settings and Transformations

The preview features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The trailer finishes with a powerful scene showing a character, likely the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke.

Special Rewards and Additional Material

Players who finish the mission will acquire an exclusive katana together with multiple artifacts concealed throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including:

• Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke
• Mikasa outfit for Naoe
• Exclusive arms
• Survey Corps vehicle

Newest Free Story Addition

This release also introduces the game's third complimentary story episode, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic abilities: Naoe reveals a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may ultimately shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline.

Previous Japanese Animation Collaborations

This signifies not the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with popular anime properties. The series previously showcased a 2020 collaborative story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that unmistakably referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
