In a unexpected collaboration that defies traditional predictions, Ubisoft has revealed an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary additional story content for Shadows players.

Peculiar Adventure Revealed

According to the authorized announcement, "A strange meeting leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where hints of prohibited practices and terrifying metamorphoses resonate through the shadows." The plot introduces a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who tasks the pair with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a hidden sect.

The mission concentrates on "peculiar trials and a terrifying foe" and is open to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.

Iconic Settings and Metamorphoses

The preview showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer concludes with a striking moment showing a character, likely the hostage, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.

Unique Items and Extra Features

Players who accomplish the mission will obtain an unique katana in addition to several items hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering:

• Titan-based outfit for Yasuke
• Mikasa outfit for Naoe
• Unique implements
• Survey Corps mount

Newest Free Story Content

This update also brings the game's latest free story episode, titled "The Mystery." This lighthearted quest teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange distinctive skills: Naoe reveals a performative interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some unresolved questions from the main storyline.

Earlier Japanese Animation Crossovers

This signifies scarcely the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime franchises. The series earlier included a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla unofficially contained a quest that unmistakably echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
