🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Introduces Unexpected Attack on Titan Crossover for Holiday Season In a unexpected collaboration that challenges conventional expectations, the game developer has revealed an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, providing free extra story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Disclosed According to the formal release, "A mysterious confrontation pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where hints of forbidden practices and terrifying changes resonate through the obscurity." The storyline presents a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who charges the duo with traveling into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a secret group. The mission concentrates on "peculiar tests and a terrifying adversary" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Metamorphoses The preview features the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview ends with a striking sequence showing a character, presumably the hostage, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Prizes and Extra Material Players who successfully complete the mission will receive an exclusive katana alongside numerous artifacts secreted throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special implements Survey Corps steed Newest Free Story Addition This release also adds the game's third free story episode, titled "The Mystery." This lighthearted adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap signature techniques: Naoe debuts a dramatic interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also features a new environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Earlier Anime Collaborations This marks hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime franchises. The series formerly featured a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly included a quest that unmistakably referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
