🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Unexpected Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving In a bizarre collaboration that breaks conventional expectations, Ubisoft has announced an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, providing free extra story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Questline Uncovered According to the official statement, "A mysterious confrontation leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh adventure, where hints of forbidden practices and terrifying transformations resonate through the darkness." The narrative introduces a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who charges the duo with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a secret group. The questline focuses on "bizarre trials and a monstrous foe" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Iconic Places and Metamorphoses The trailer showcases the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was previously where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The preview finishes with a powerful moment showing a character, presumably the hostage, transforming into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Additional Material Players who finish the quest will receive an unique katana in addition to multiple objects concealed throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Special weapons Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Content This patch also brings the game's newest complimentary story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This humorous quest teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic abilities: Naoe introduces a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-fatal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline. Past Anime Crossovers This signifies not the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with well-known anime series. The series earlier included a 2020 crossover story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla informally featured a quest that unmistakably referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
