🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Surprising Attack on Titan Event for Holiday Season In a surprising crossover event that defies traditional expectations, Ubisoft has revealed an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost extra story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Revealed According to the official release, "A strange meeting pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where whispers of forbidden ceremonies and fearsome transformations reverberate through the shadows." The narrative presents a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with venturing into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a secret sect. The mission focuses on "peculiar trials and a monstrous adversary" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Familiar Places and Transformations The preview features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The teaser concludes with a dramatic sequence showing a character, probably the prisoner, transforming into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Items and Additional Content Players who successfully complete the quest will acquire an unique katana alongside several artifacts concealed throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-themed attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Exclusive implements Survey Corps vehicle Newest Free Story Addition This release also brings the game's third complimentary story content, titled "A Puzzlement." This humorous quest teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature techniques: Naoe debuts a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a new environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Partnerships This represents scarcely the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with popular anime series. The series previously included a 2020 crossover story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla unofficially included a quest that clearly echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
