🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Introduces Surprising Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving In a surprising crossover event that challenges conventional predictions, Ubisoft has announced an digital collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, including free additional story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Questline Uncovered According to the formal announcement, "A mysterious encounter leads characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where whispers of forbidden practices and monstrous metamorphoses reverberate through the shadows." The plot introduces a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who charges the characters with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a secret sect. The mission concentrates on "bizarre tests and a monstrous foe" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Recognizable Locations and Metamorphoses The teaser showcases the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser finishes with a powerful moment showing a character, likely the hostage, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Items and Additional Features Players who finish the adventure will acquire an exclusive katana together with numerous objects secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired outfit for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Exclusive implements Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Update This patch also brings the game's newest complimentary story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade characteristic techniques: Naoe introduces a dramatic variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some lingering questions from the main storyline. Earlier Anime Collaborations This marks scarcely the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime franchises. The series previously featured a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that obviously echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
