Assassin's Creed Introduces Surprising Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving

In a surprising crossover event that breaks traditional forecasts, the game developer has revealed an virtual collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, offering free additional story content for Shadows players.

Peculiar Adventure Disclosed

According to the official statement, "A mysterious encounter pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh adventure, where rumors of banned ceremonies and monstrous changes echo through the darkness." The narrative presents a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the pair with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a clandestine sect.

The adventure concentrates on "peculiar experiments and a monstrous enemy" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.

Recognizable Locations and Changes

The preview highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer concludes with a powerful scene showing a character, presumably the prisoner, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke.

Unique Rewards and Additional Content

Players who successfully complete the mission will receive an exclusive katana alongside numerous artifacts concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, offering:

  • Titan-themed costume for Yasuke
  • Mikasa costume for Naoe
  • Special arms
  • Survey Corps mount

Latest Free Story Addition

This patch also adds the game's latest no-cost story episode, titled "The Mystery." This humorous mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic abilities: Naoe debuts a performative variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline.

Earlier Japanese Animation Partnerships

This signifies hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime series. The series formerly included a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially contained a quest that clearly referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
