In a bizarre collaboration that breaks traditional forecasts, the game developer has revealed an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players.

Strange Questline Uncovered

According to the official release, "An unusual meeting pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where rumors of banned practices and terrifying transformations reverberate through the darkness." The storyline presents a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who charges the duo with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a secret sect.

The mission focuses on "strange tests and a terrifying foe" and is open to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.

Familiar Locations and Changes

The trailer showcases the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer concludes with a striking sequence showing a character, probably the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.

Special Rewards and Additional Features

Players who accomplish the quest will receive an exclusive katana in addition to multiple objects secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring:

• Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke
• Mikasa outfit for Naoe
• Exclusive arms
• Survey Corps steed

Third Free Story Content

This patch also introduces the game's third complimentary story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade characteristic abilities: Naoe debuts a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline.

Past Anime Collaborations

This signifies not the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with well-known anime series. The series formerly showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that clearly referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
