🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Introduces Bizarre Attack on Titan Collaboration for Holiday Season In a bizarre crossover event that defies usual expectations, Ubisoft has announced an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary additional story content for Shadows players. Strange Questline Revealed According to the authorized statement, "An unusual confrontation draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh adventure, where hints of forbidden practices and terrifying metamorphoses reverberate through the obscurity." The plot introduces a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who charges the pair with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a hidden group. The questline concentrates on "peculiar tests and a monstrous enemy" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Recognizable Locations and Metamorphoses The teaser features the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The teaser concludes with a striking scene showing a character, presumably the prisoner, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Prizes and Extra Content Players who successfully complete the mission will obtain an unique katana together with several items secreted throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-themed costume for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Special implements Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Update This patch also introduces the game's latest no-cost story episode, titled "A Puzzlement." This humorous quest pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature skills: Naoe debuts a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some lingering questions from the main storyline. Past Anime Collaborations This represents not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime series. The series earlier showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially contained a quest that clearly echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
