In a unexpected partnership that defies conventional expectations, Ubisoft has unveiled an in-game partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players.

Peculiar Questline Revealed

According to the formal statement, "A mysterious confrontation pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new mission, where rumors of prohibited rituals and terrifying transformations echo through the obscurity." The narrative introduces a "unusually garbed woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a clandestine sect.

The adventure focuses on "bizarre experiments and a terrifying enemy" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.

Recognizable Locations and Transformations

The teaser showcases the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was previously where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The preview ends with a dramatic moment showing a character, likely the hostage, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke.

Exclusive Rewards and Additional Material

Players who accomplish the adventure will acquire an exclusive katana together with several items hidden throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring:

• Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke
• Mikasa outfit for Naoe
• Special implements
• Survey Corps mount

Latest Free Story Addition

This update also adds the game's latest no-cost story content, titled "The Mystery." This humorous quest pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature techniques: Naoe reveals a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some unanswered questions from the main storyline.

Past Japanese Animation Crossovers

This signifies not the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with popular anime series. The series earlier featured a 2020 crossover story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially included a quest that obviously nodded to the popular series One-Punch Man.
