AC Shadows Reveals Surprising Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving

In a bizarre crossover event that challenges conventional forecasts, Ubisoft has unveiled an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering free bonus story content for Shadows players.

Mysterious Adventure Revealed

According to the authorized announcement, "A mysterious confrontation draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where whispers of prohibited ceremonies and fearsome transformations echo through the darkness." The storyline presents a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with traveling into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a hidden group.

The adventure concentrates on "strange experiments and a terrifying adversary" and is open to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.

Iconic Locations and Metamorphoses

The teaser features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The preview concludes with a powerful moment showing a character, presumably the prisoner, transforming into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke.

Unique Rewards and Additional Features

Players who finish the quest will receive an special katana together with multiple objects secreted throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering:

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

Third Free Story Update

This update also adds the game's third no-cost story content, titled "The Mystery." This humorous quest teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive techniques: Naoe introduces a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also features a new environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline.

Earlier Japanese Animation Crossovers

This represents hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime series. The series previously showcased a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that obviously echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
