In a bizarre partnership that challenges conventional forecasts, the game developer has revealed an in-game crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost extra story content for Shadows players.

Strange Mission Disclosed

According to the authorized release, "An unusual meeting draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where rumors of forbidden rituals and fearsome changes reverberate through the obscurity." The narrative introduces a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who tasks the pair with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a clandestine group.

The questline focuses on "bizarre trials and a terrifying adversary" and is open to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.

Recognizable Locations and Changes

The trailer features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview concludes with a striking moment showing a character, probably the captive, transforming into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke.

Exclusive Rewards and Extra Material

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

• Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke
• Mikasa attire for Naoe
• Special arms
• Survey Corps vehicle

Latest Free Story Update

This patch also introduces the game's latest complimentary story episode, titled "The Enigma." This humorous mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic skills: Naoe debuts a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline.

Previous Anime Partnerships

This signifies hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime franchises. The series earlier featured a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that unmistakably nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
