🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Unexpected Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a unexpected partnership that breaks usual expectations, the game developer has announced an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost extra story content for Shadows players. Strange Mission Uncovered According to the formal announcement, "A mysterious confrontation draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where hints of prohibited ceremonies and fearsome metamorphoses reverberate through the obscurity." The narrative presents a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who charges the characters with traveling into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her ally from a clandestine sect. The adventure focuses on "bizarre trials and a fearsome enemy" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Familiar Locations and Transformations The trailer features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer ends with a striking sequence showing a character, presumably the hostage, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Rewards and Bonus Material Players who finish the mission will acquire an special katana alongside multiple items secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-based outfit for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special arms Survey Corps steed Newest Free Story Update This release also adds the game's third no-cost story episode, titled "The Enigma." This playful adventure partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap signature techniques: Naoe reveals a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Crossovers This represents scarcely the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with popular anime series. The series formerly included a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla unofficially included a quest that obviously echoed the famous series One-Punch Man.
