🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Introduces Bizarre Attack on Titan Crossover for Thanksgiving In a bizarre crossover event that breaks usual forecasts, the game developer has revealed an in-game partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary extra story content for Shadows players. Strange Adventure Uncovered According to the official release, "A mysterious encounter pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where hints of forbidden practices and fearsome changes reverberate through the obscurity." The plot features a "unusually garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a hidden group. The mission focuses on "peculiar trials and a terrifying enemy" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Iconic Places and Metamorphoses The preview highlights the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer ends with a dramatic sequence showing a character, probably the hostage, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Items and Bonus Material Players who successfully complete the quest will obtain an exclusive katana in addition to several items secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-inspired outfit for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Unique weapons Survey Corps vehicle Newest Free Story Addition This patch also brings the game's newest complimentary story content, titled "The Enigma." This playful mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they trade characteristic techniques: Naoe introduces a performative variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-fatal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may ultimately shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Crossovers This marks not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with well-known anime properties. The series previously included a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that obviously echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
