🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Unexpected Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a surprising crossover event that defies conventional forecasts, Ubisoft has revealed an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, offering free extra story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Adventure Disclosed According to the authorized statement, "A strange encounter pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where rumors of forbidden ceremonies and fearsome metamorphoses resonate through the darkness." The plot features a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who charges the duo with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a clandestine sect. The adventure centers on "bizarre trials and a terrifying enemy" and is open to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Familiar Places and Changes The teaser highlights the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser concludes with a dramatic sequence showing a character, presumably the hostage, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Prizes and Additional Features Players who successfully complete the adventure will receive an exclusive katana in addition to several items secreted throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Unique weapons Survey Corps mount Third Free Story Update This update also adds the game's newest complimentary story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature skills: Naoe reveals a performative variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some lingering questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Crossovers This signifies hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime franchises. The series previously showcased a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that clearly echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
