In a bizarre crossover event that challenges usual predictions, Ubisoft has unveiled an virtual collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, providing no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players.

Strange Questline Uncovered

According to the authorized statement, "A mysterious encounter pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where whispers of banned practices and fearsome transformations reverberate through the shadows." The plot presents a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who charges the duo with traveling into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her ally from a clandestine sect.

The mission centers on "strange trials and a fearsome adversary" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.

Recognizable Places and Transformations

The trailer features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The preview finishes with a striking moment showing a character, probably the captive, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke.

Exclusive Items and Extra Material

Players who accomplish the adventure will obtain an unique katana alongside numerous items hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including:

• Titan-based costume for Yasuke
• Mikasa costume for Naoe
• Special weapons
• Survey Corps mount

Latest Free Story Update

This release also introduces the game's third no-cost story episode, titled "The Mystery." This lighthearted adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic abilities: Naoe reveals a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Mystery" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline.

Previous Anime Collaborations

This represents hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with famous anime franchises. The series previously showcased a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially contained a quest that unmistakably echoed the famous series One-Punch Man.
