🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Bizarre AoT Crossover for Holiday Season In a surprising crossover event that challenges usual predictions, the game developer has revealed an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Mission Disclosed According to the formal announcement, "A mysterious confrontation leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where rumors of prohibited rituals and fearsome metamorphoses resonate through the obscurity." The plot presents a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who charges the characters with venturing into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a clandestine cult. The mission focuses on "peculiar trials and a monstrous adversary" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Transformations The teaser showcases the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer finishes with a striking moment showing a character, presumably the captive, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Prizes and Additional Material Players who successfully complete the quest will receive an exclusive katana together with several items hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-inspired outfit for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Exclusive implements Survey Corps steed Third Free Story Addition This update also introduces the game's third free story addition, titled "The Enigma." This playful mission partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic skills: Naoe introduces a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Earlier Japanese Animation Crossovers This signifies hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime series. The series formerly showcased a 2020 collaborative story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla informally contained a quest that clearly echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
