In a surprising collaboration that defies traditional predictions, the game developer has revealed an virtual crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players.

Peculiar Mission Uncovered

According to the authorized statement, "A mysterious encounter pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where rumors of banned ceremonies and terrifying changes resonate through the obscurity." The plot presents a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a secret cult.

The questline focuses on "strange tests and a monstrous enemy" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.

Recognizable Locations and Metamorphoses

The teaser showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser concludes with a powerful sequence showing a character, presumably the hostage, transforming into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke.

Unique Prizes and Additional Content

Players who accomplish the adventure will obtain an unique katana in addition to multiple objects concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering:

• Titan-based attire for Yasuke
• Mikasa costume for Naoe
• Unique arms
• Survey Corps vehicle

Newest Free Story Addition

This update also adds the game's third no-cost story episode, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful mission partners Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic skills: Naoe introduces a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some lingering 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 series. The series earlier included a 2020 collaborative story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla unofficially included a quest that clearly referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
