🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Introduces Unexpected Attack on Titan Collaboration for Holiday Season In a bizarre crossover event that breaks traditional predictions, Ubisoft has unveiled an virtual crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Revealed According to the official release, "An unusual encounter pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a new mission, where hints of prohibited rituals and terrifying transformations reverberate through the darkness." The storyline introduces a "unusually garbed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a clandestine group. The questline concentrates on "peculiar tests and a monstrous foe" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Iconic Locations and Changes The preview showcases the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview finishes with a dramatic scene showing a character, presumably the hostage, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Items and Bonus Content Players who finish the mission will acquire an special katana in addition to numerous artifacts hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also includes premium Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Exclusive weapons Survey Corps mount Newest Free Story Content This release also introduces the game's latest free story content, titled "The Enigma." This playful adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive skills: Naoe reveals a dramatic variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Collaborations This signifies hardly 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 subtly included a quest that obviously referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
