🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Bizarre Attack on Titan Crossover for Holiday Season In a surprising partnership that defies usual expectations, Ubisoft has announced an virtual crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, providing complimentary extra story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Mission Revealed According to the formal announcement, "An unusual meeting pulls heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where whispers of forbidden rituals and terrifying transformations reverberate through the shadows." The plot features a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a clandestine group. The questline concentrates on "peculiar tests and a monstrous adversary" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Familiar Settings and Metamorphoses The teaser features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The teaser finishes with a powerful moment showing a character, likely the captive, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Prizes and Extra Features Players who finish the adventure will obtain an exclusive katana together with multiple artifacts hidden throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-themed costume for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Unique arms Survey Corps steed Third Free Story Update This release also adds the game's latest complimentary story content, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful quest pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic skills: Naoe introduces a dramatic interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also includes a new environmental puzzle that may ultimately shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Partnerships This represents hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime properties. The series formerly featured a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly included a quest that unmistakably nodded to the popular series One-Punch Man.
