🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Surprising AoT Crossover for Holiday Season In a surprising crossover event that defies conventional predictions, Ubisoft has unveiled an virtual collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, including free additional story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Questline Uncovered According to the authorized statement, "A strange meeting leads characters Naoe and Yasuke into a new mission, where rumors of forbidden practices and monstrous changes reverberate through the shadows." The plot introduces a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with traveling into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a hidden sect. The questline centers on "bizarre trials and a terrifying enemy" and is open to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Familiar Locations and Metamorphoses The teaser showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser concludes with a striking moment showing a character, presumably the prisoner, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Extra Features Players who successfully complete the adventure will acquire an special katana in addition to numerous artifacts concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-based attire for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Exclusive arms Survey Corps steed Third Free Story Content This patch also adds the game's third complimentary story episode, titled "The Mystery." This lighthearted mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic abilities: Naoe introduces a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Earlier Anime Partnerships This marks scarcely the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime properties. The series earlier included a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla unofficially contained a quest that obviously referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
