🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Introduces Unexpected Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving In a bizarre partnership that challenges traditional predictions, the game developer has revealed an in-game partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost additional story content for Shadows players. Strange Questline Uncovered According to the official release, "A strange encounter pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where rumors of forbidden rituals and fearsome metamorphoses reverberate through the darkness." The narrative introduces a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a clandestine cult. The adventure focuses on "strange experiments and a monstrous enemy" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Familiar Locations and Transformations The teaser features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer ends with a striking moment showing a character, likely the captive, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Prizes and Additional Material Players who finish the quest will receive an exclusive katana alongside numerous items concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-themed attire for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Unique arms Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Update This release also adds the game's newest complimentary story episode, titled "The Mystery." This lighthearted mission partners Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature skills: Naoe debuts a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also features a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Partnerships This marks scarcely the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with popular anime franchises. The series formerly showcased a 2020 collaborative story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that clearly nodded to the popular series One-Punch Man.
