AC Shadows Introduces Unexpected Attack on Titan Crossover for Thanksgiving

In a bizarre collaboration that challenges traditional expectations, Ubisoft has revealed an virtual collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, providing complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players.

Peculiar Questline Uncovered

According to the authorized statement, "A mysterious confrontation pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where rumors of prohibited practices and monstrous metamorphoses echo through the shadows." The narrative presents a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a hidden cult.

The adventure centers on "bizarre experiments and a monstrous foe" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.

Iconic Places and Transformations

The preview showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser ends with a powerful scene showing a character, presumably the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke.

Exclusive Rewards and Additional Material

Players who finish the mission will acquire an exclusive katana together with numerous objects concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also includes premium Attack on Titan item packs, offering:

• Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke
• Mikasa costume for Naoe
• Unique weapons
• Survey Corps mount

Third Free Story Update

This patch also brings the game's third complimentary story content, titled "The Mystery." This playful adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature skills: Naoe introduces a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may ultimately shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline.

Previous Japanese Animation Collaborations

This marks not the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with well-known anime series. The series formerly included a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially contained a quest that unmistakably echoed the famous series One-Punch Man.
