🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Introduces Bizarre AoT Collaboration for Holiday Season In a surprising collaboration that challenges traditional forecasts, the game developer has unveiled an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary additional story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Questline Disclosed According to the formal statement, "An unusual encounter draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh adventure, where whispers of banned rituals and monstrous changes resonate through the obscurity." The narrative presents a "strangely garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her friend from a hidden cult. The mission focuses on "strange tests and a monstrous foe" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Familiar Places and Changes The preview highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The preview finishes with a powerful moment showing a character, presumably the hostage, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Rewards and Extra Content Players who finish the adventure will acquire an special katana in addition to numerous items secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Special arms Survey Corps mount Third Free Story Addition This update also brings the game's third complimentary story episode, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted quest pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature skills: Naoe introduces a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally explain some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Partnerships This marks not the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime properties. The series formerly included a 2020 crossover story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla informally featured a quest that obviously echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
