🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Unexpected AoT Crossover for Holiday Season In a bizarre partnership that breaks conventional forecasts, Ubisoft has unveiled an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, including free bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Questline Disclosed According to the official announcement, "A mysterious encounter leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where whispers of banned ceremonies and monstrous transformations reverberate through the obscurity." The narrative presents a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who charges the characters with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a clandestine group. The questline concentrates on "bizarre trials and a monstrous enemy" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Recognizable Places and Metamorphoses The preview features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview ends with a dramatic moment showing a character, presumably the prisoner, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Prizes and Bonus Content Players who accomplish the quest will acquire an unique katana alongside several items concealed throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-based attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Unique weapons Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Addition This update also introduces the game's newest no-cost story episode, titled "The Mystery." This humorous mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic abilities: Naoe introduces a performative variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also features a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Crossovers This marks scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime properties. The series earlier featured a 2020 crossover story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla informally featured a quest that obviously referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
