🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Unexpected Attack on Titan Crossover for Thanksgiving In a surprising crossover event that defies usual forecasts, the game developer has unveiled an in-game partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, providing free bonus story content for Shadows players. Strange Questline Disclosed According to the authorized announcement, "A strange confrontation pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where whispers of forbidden ceremonies and terrifying metamorphoses reverberate through the shadows." The plot features a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a hidden sect. The adventure centers on "peculiar experiments and a fearsome enemy" and is open to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Familiar Settings and Changes The preview features the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer ends with a dramatic scene showing a character, presumably the prisoner, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Items and Bonus Content Players who successfully complete the adventure will receive an unique katana in addition to multiple items hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-based costume for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Unique weapons Survey Corps mount Newest Free Story Addition This update also adds the game's latest no-cost story episode, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap signature abilities: Naoe debuts a performative variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Earlier Anime Partnerships This marks scarcely the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with popular anime properties. The series earlier showcased a 2020 crossover story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla subtly included a quest that clearly nodded to the popular series One-Punch Man.
