🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Bizarre Attack on Titan Crossover for Thanksgiving In a surprising crossover event that defies traditional predictions, the game developer has unveiled an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, providing free bonus story content for Shadows players. Strange Adventure Revealed According to the formal release, "An unusual confrontation leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh mission, where hints of prohibited practices and fearsome transformations echo through the obscurity." The storyline features a "strangely garbed woman named Ada" who assigns the pair with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a hidden sect. The questline centers on "bizarre tests and a fearsome foe" and is open to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Recognizable Locations and Transformations The preview features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The preview finishes with a dramatic moment showing a character, presumably the hostage, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Prizes and Extra Features Players who finish the adventure will obtain an special katana together with multiple items hidden throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-themed costume for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special arms Survey Corps mount Newest Free Story Addition This patch also adds the game's latest free story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic abilities: Naoe debuts a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline. Past Anime Crossovers This marks not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime franchises. The series formerly included a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that clearly echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
