🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Introduces Surprising Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a surprising collaboration that breaks traditional forecasts, Ubisoft has revealed an in-game crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost additional story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Mission Uncovered According to the authorized release, "A strange confrontation draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where hints of prohibited practices and fearsome transformations resonate through the obscurity." The plot presents a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a clandestine sect. The mission focuses on "peculiar experiments and a monstrous adversary" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Familiar Locations and Changes The trailer highlights the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser ends with a powerful scene showing a character, likely the hostage, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Rewards and Extra Content Players who finish the mission will receive an unique katana together with numerous objects hidden throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-based outfit for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Exclusive weapons Survey Corps vehicle Newest Free Story Addition This release also introduces the game's newest free story episode, titled "The Mystery." This lighthearted mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature techniques: Naoe reveals a dramatic variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also includes a new environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Earlier Japanese Animation Collaborations This signifies not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with popular anime franchises. The series formerly included a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially contained a quest that unmistakably echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
