🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Introduces Bizarre Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving In a bizarre crossover event that breaks usual predictions, Ubisoft has revealed an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, providing free bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Mission Disclosed According to the formal announcement, "A mysterious confrontation leads characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where rumors of forbidden rituals and fearsome metamorphoses resonate through the obscurity." The narrative presents a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who charges the characters with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a hidden group. The adventure focuses on "strange trials and a monstrous adversary" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Familiar Places and Metamorphoses The teaser features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser ends with a powerful scene showing a character, likely the hostage, transforming into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Additional Material Players who accomplish the mission will receive an exclusive katana together with several objects secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Special weapons Survey Corps vehicle Newest Free Story Addition This update also adds the game's third free story episode, titled "The Mystery." This playful mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive abilities: Naoe reveals a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-lethal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Collaborations This represents not the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with popular anime series. The series earlier included a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla informally featured a quest that clearly nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
