🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Unexpected Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a unexpected crossover event that breaks traditional expectations, the game developer has unveiled an digital collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering free bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Questline Uncovered According to the official announcement, "An unusual meeting draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where rumors of banned rituals and monstrous changes echo through the obscurity." The plot features a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with venturing into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a secret cult. The mission focuses on "bizarre experiments and a fearsome enemy" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Iconic Places and Transformations The teaser features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The preview finishes with a striking sequence showing a character, presumably the captive, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Rewards and Bonus Features Players who accomplish the quest will receive an unique katana in addition to several artifacts hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also features premium Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-based outfit for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Exclusive arms Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Content This release also introduces the game's latest no-cost story addition, titled "The Enigma." This humorous mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they trade characteristic abilities: Naoe reveals a performative interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may finally explain some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Partnerships This marks hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime properties. The series formerly featured a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that obviously nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
