🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Introduces Unexpected AoT Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a surprising collaboration that breaks conventional predictions, Ubisoft has announced an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Uncovered According to the formal announcement, "A mysterious meeting leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where hints of prohibited rituals and monstrous metamorphoses echo through the darkness." The narrative presents a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her ally from a clandestine group. The questline concentrates on "strange tests and a terrifying adversary" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Changes The preview features the Underground Chapel 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 teaser finishes with a striking scene showing a character, probably the captive, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Items and Extra Content Players who finish the mission will acquire an special katana in addition to several objects secreted throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-themed attire for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Exclusive arms Survey Corps vehicle Latest Free Story Content This patch also adds the game's latest no-cost story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature abilities: Naoe introduces a dramatic interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Crossovers This represents not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime properties. The series earlier showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that obviously referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
