🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Introduces Bizarre Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving In a unexpected crossover event that breaks traditional expectations, the game developer has revealed an digital collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players. Strange Questline Uncovered According to the official release, "An unusual encounter leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where whispers of forbidden practices and monstrous transformations reverberate through the darkness." The storyline introduces a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with venturing into the Crystalline Cavern—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a secret group. The adventure focuses on "bizarre tests and a monstrous enemy" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Recognizable Places and Metamorphoses The teaser showcases the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The trailer ends with a powerful scene showing a character, probably the hostage, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Prizes and Bonus Features Players who successfully complete the quest will acquire an exclusive katana alongside multiple items concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Unique weapons Survey Corps vehicle Newest Free Story Update This release also brings the game's newest complimentary story addition, titled "The Enigma." This humorous adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature abilities: Naoe debuts a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also includes a new environmental puzzle that may ultimately shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline. Earlier Japanese Animation Collaborations This signifies hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with famous anime franchises. The series previously featured a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla informally included a quest that clearly echoed the famous series One-Punch Man.
