🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Bizarre Attack on Titan Crossover for Holiday Season In a bizarre partnership that challenges conventional expectations, the game developer has unveiled an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, providing free bonus story content for Shadows players. Strange Questline Revealed According to the authorized release, "A mysterious encounter draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new mission, where hints of banned ceremonies and monstrous transformations reverberate through the shadows." The plot introduces a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with traveling into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a secret group. The adventure focuses on "strange trials and a fearsome enemy" and is open to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Recognizable Places and Changes The trailer features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser ends with a striking moment showing a character, presumably the hostage, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Items and Extra Material Players who accomplish the quest will receive an special katana in addition to several items secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes premium Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Special arms Survey Corps vehicle Latest Free Story Addition This update also adds the game's latest free story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic techniques: Naoe reveals a performative interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Partnerships This represents not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime series. The series formerly included a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly included a quest that obviously echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
