🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Unexpected AoT Crossover for Thanksgiving In a surprising collaboration that breaks traditional predictions, Ubisoft has revealed an in-game crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned 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 Disclosed According to the authorized statement, "A mysterious meeting pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where whispers of prohibited practices and monstrous transformations reverberate through the darkness." The plot introduces a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with traveling into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a hidden sect. The adventure centers on "bizarre tests and a terrifying foe" and is open to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Recognizable Places and Transformations The teaser features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser finishes with a powerful scene showing a character, probably the captive, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Bonus Material Players who accomplish the quest will obtain an unique katana together with several objects hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Exclusive arms Survey Corps steed Newest Free Story Content This release also adds the game's third no-cost story content, titled "A Puzzlement." This humorous adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive abilities: Naoe reveals a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Partnerships This represents hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with famous anime properties. The series earlier featured a 2020 crossover story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially included a quest that obviously nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
