🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Surprising Attack on Titan Crossover for Thanksgiving In a unexpected collaboration that defies usual predictions, Ubisoft has unveiled an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, providing free additional story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Adventure Revealed According to the official statement, "A strange confrontation pulls heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where rumors of banned rituals and monstrous metamorphoses resonate through the shadows." The plot features a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a clandestine sect. The adventure focuses on "strange experiments and a monstrous adversary" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Familiar Locations and Metamorphoses The preview highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer concludes with a powerful scene showing a character, presumably the captive, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Prizes and Bonus Material Players who finish the mission will obtain an exclusive katana alongside numerous items secreted throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Exclusive arms Survey Corps mount Newest Free Story Addition This release also adds the game's third free story episode, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted mission partners Naoe and Yasuke as they trade characteristic skills: Naoe debuts a performative variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Mystery" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Crossovers This signifies scarcely the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with popular anime franchises. The series previously featured a 2020 collaborative story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla informally featured a quest that unmistakably referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
