🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Bizarre AoT Crossover for Holiday Season In a bizarre collaboration that defies usual expectations, Ubisoft has revealed 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, including complimentary additional story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Mission Disclosed According to the formal statement, "An unusual confrontation draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new mission, where rumors of prohibited rituals and monstrous transformations resonate through the shadows." The storyline introduces a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with venturing into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a hidden cult. The questline focuses on "peculiar experiments and a terrifying adversary" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Familiar Settings and Changes The trailer showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The preview concludes with a powerful moment showing a character, likely the hostage, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Items and Extra Content Players who accomplish the adventure will acquire an exclusive katana alongside multiple objects concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Special weapons Survey Corps vehicle Latest Free Story Update This release also introduces the game's third free story episode, titled "The Enigma." This playful adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade characteristic techniques: Naoe introduces a dramatic interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also features a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Partnerships This signifies not the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with popular anime franchises. The series earlier featured a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla informally featured a quest that unmistakably nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
