🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Bizarre AoT Collaboration for Holiday Season In a unexpected crossover event that breaks traditional expectations, Ubisoft has revealed an in-game crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, including free additional story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Questline Uncovered According to the formal release, "An unusual confrontation pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where whispers of prohibited rituals and terrifying changes resonate through the shadows." The narrative presents a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a secret group. The adventure concentrates on "bizarre trials and a monstrous enemy" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Familiar Locations and Transformations The preview features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer ends with a dramatic sequence showing a character, presumably the hostage, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Extra Features Players who successfully complete the quest will obtain an exclusive katana alongside several objects secreted throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Exclusive implements Survey Corps steed Newest Free Story Addition This release also adds the game's third free story episode, titled "The Enigma." This playful mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade characteristic techniques: Naoe debuts a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-fatal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also includes a new environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Collaborations This signifies hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime properties. The series previously included a 2020 collaborative story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that unmistakably referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
