🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Surprising Attack on Titan Event for Holiday Season In a bizarre collaboration that defies conventional predictions, the game developer has revealed an virtual collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering no-cost extra story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Revealed According to the formal announcement, "An unusual meeting pulls heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new mission, where whispers of forbidden practices and terrifying metamorphoses reverberate through the shadows." The narrative presents a "unusually garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a hidden sect. The adventure focuses on "strange trials and a terrifying foe" and is open to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Recognizable Locations and Changes The trailer showcases the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser concludes with a powerful scene showing a character, likely the hostage, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Items and Extra Material Players who finish the quest will receive an exclusive katana in addition to numerous objects concealed throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Special weapons Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Addition This update also introduces the game's latest free story episode, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful adventure partners Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature abilities: Naoe reveals a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also features a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Crossovers This marks scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime franchises. The series earlier included a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that obviously referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
