🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Surprising Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving In a surprising collaboration that defies traditional expectations, Ubisoft has unveiled an virtual crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Adventure Revealed According to the authorized announcement, "A mysterious meeting leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where whispers of forbidden ceremonies and fearsome metamorphoses resonate through the obscurity." The storyline features a "strangely garbed woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a secret group. The mission focuses on "bizarre experiments and a terrifying foe" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Iconic Locations and Metamorphoses The trailer highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The preview concludes with a powerful sequence showing a character, likely the hostage, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Items and Extra Content Players who finish the mission will receive an special katana alongside multiple artifacts hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-themed attire for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Exclusive weapons Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Update This update also adds the game's latest no-cost story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This humorous quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap signature techniques: Naoe introduces a performative interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also features a new environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some lingering questions from the main storyline. Earlier Japanese Animation Crossovers This signifies scarcely the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime properties. The series previously showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that clearly nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
