🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Unexpected AoT Event for Holiday Season In a surprising collaboration that breaks traditional expectations, Ubisoft has unveiled an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, providing no-cost extra story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Disclosed According to the formal announcement, "A mysterious encounter draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where rumors of prohibited ceremonies and monstrous changes resonate through the darkness." The narrative introduces a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who charges the characters with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a secret group. The adventure concentrates on "strange tests and a fearsome adversary" and is open to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Familiar Locations and Changes The teaser showcases the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser concludes with a striking sequence showing a character, presumably the hostage, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Rewards and Bonus Content Players who finish the quest will obtain an exclusive katana in addition to several items concealed throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-based outfit for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Exclusive arms Survey Corps mount Newest Free Story Addition This update also introduces the game's newest free story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic abilities: Naoe debuts a dramatic interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also includes a new environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Partnerships This marks hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime series. The series formerly included a 2020 crossover story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla informally contained a quest that unmistakably echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
