In a unexpected crossover event that breaks usual predictions, Ubisoft has announced an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, including free additional story content for Shadows players.

Strange Questline Uncovered

According to the formal release, "A strange meeting leads characters Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh adventure, where rumors of banned rituals and fearsome changes echo through the obscurity." The narrative features a "strangely garbed woman named Ada" who charges the characters with venturing into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a clandestine sect.

The questline focuses on "peculiar experiments and a fearsome foe" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.

Iconic 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 eras. The teaser ends with a powerful moment showing a character, probably the hostage, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.

Exclusive Prizes and Extra Material

Players who finish the adventure will obtain an exclusive katana in addition to numerous objects secreted throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring:

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

Third Free Story Update

This release also brings the game's third complimentary story content, titled "The Mystery." This humorous mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic skills: Naoe reveals a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also includes a new environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some unanswered questions from the main storyline.

Past Anime Collaborations

This signifies scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime franchises. The series formerly included a 2020 collaborative story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that obviously referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
