Assassin's Creed Introduces Bizarre Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving
In a unexpected collaboration that defies traditional expectations, Ubisoft has unveiled an virtual crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players.
Strange Mission Revealed
According to the formal release, "A mysterious encounter pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where rumors of banned rituals and monstrous metamorphoses reverberate through the obscurity." The storyline features a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a hidden sect.
The mission concentrates on "peculiar trials and a fearsome foe" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.
Recognizable Settings and Transformations
The preview showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser ends with a powerful sequence showing a character, likely the prisoner, transforming into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke.
Unique Items and Extra Features
Players who successfully complete the adventure will obtain an special katana together with multiple objects concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering:
- Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke
- Mikasa costume for Naoe
- Unique arms
- Survey Corps vehicle
Third Free Story Addition
This patch also brings the game's third free story episode, titled "The Enigma." This humorous adventure partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive abilities: Naoe introduces a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline.
Past Anime Crossovers
This signifies scarcely the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime properties. The series previously featured a 2020 crossover story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla unofficially contained a quest that obviously referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
