🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Bizarre AoT Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a unexpected crossover event that defies traditional expectations, the game developer has revealed an in-game crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, including free bonus story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Revealed According to the official release, "An unusual encounter draws characters Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh mission, where rumors of forbidden practices and terrifying changes reverberate through the darkness." The narrative features a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a hidden sect. The adventure concentrates on "bizarre trials and a terrifying adversary" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Familiar Settings and Transformations The trailer highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The teaser ends with a dramatic scene showing a character, likely the hostage, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Items and Additional Content Players who accomplish the mission will obtain an exclusive katana together with several artifacts concealed throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Unique implements Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Addition This patch also brings the game's latest free story addition, titled "The Mystery." This humorous quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic abilities: Naoe debuts a performative variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a original environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Crossovers This signifies scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with well-known anime properties. The series formerly showcased a 2020 collaborative story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla informally featured a quest that clearly nodded to the popular series One-Punch Man.
