Assassin's Creed Reveals Unexpected Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving

In a unexpected crossover event that breaks traditional expectations, Ubisoft has unveiled an virtual collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary extra story content for Shadows players.

Peculiar Questline Revealed

According to the official release, "An unusual confrontation draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where whispers of prohibited practices and fearsome transformations resonate through the obscurity." The storyline features a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a secret sect.

The adventure focuses on "bizarre tests and a monstrous foe" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.

Familiar Locations and Transformations

The teaser features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer ends with a powerful scene showing a character, probably the hostage, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.

Exclusive Items and Extra Features

Players who accomplish the mission will acquire an special katana in addition to several objects hidden throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, offering:

• Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke
• Mikasa outfit for Naoe
• Special arms
• Survey Corps mount

Newest Free Story Update

This update also introduces the game's third no-cost story content, titled "The Enigma." This lighthearted adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic techniques: Naoe introduces a performative interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline.

Past Japanese Animation Crossovers

This represents not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime properties. The series formerly included a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that unmistakably referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
