🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Unexpected AoT Crossover for Thanksgiving In a bizarre partnership that challenges usual expectations, Ubisoft has announced an in-game 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, including free extra story content for Shadows players. Strange Adventure Revealed According to the authorized announcement, "A strange confrontation pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh mission, where rumors of prohibited practices and terrifying metamorphoses echo through the obscurity." The storyline features a "unusually garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a clandestine sect. The adventure centers on "bizarre trials and a monstrous enemy" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Recognizable Places and Metamorphoses The trailer highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The preview ends with a powerful sequence showing a character, likely the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Items and Additional Material Players who finish the adventure will receive an special katana in addition to numerous objects secreted throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Unique arms Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Content This update also adds the game's latest free story addition, titled "The Enigma." This humorous adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade characteristic techniques: Naoe introduces a dramatic interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also features a new environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Collaborations This marks not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime properties. The series previously featured a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla subtly included a quest that unmistakably nodded to the famous series One-Punch Man.
