🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Introduces Bizarre AoT Event for Holiday Season In a bizarre partnership that defies conventional forecasts, Ubisoft has announced an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering free additional story content for Shadows players. Strange Adventure Uncovered According to the authorized statement, "A mysterious encounter draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where whispers of banned practices and terrifying transformations echo through the obscurity." The storyline introduces a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with traveling into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her friend from a clandestine cult. The mission focuses on "strange experiments and a monstrous adversary" and is open to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Iconic Settings and Changes The trailer showcases the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The teaser finishes with a striking sequence showing a character, likely the hostage, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Prizes and Additional Material Players who accomplish the quest will receive an unique katana alongside multiple items hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-themed attire for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Exclusive weapons Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Update This patch also introduces the game's newest no-cost story episode, titled "The Enigma." This lighthearted quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature abilities: Naoe debuts a performative variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a original environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some lingering questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Crossovers This represents not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with famous anime properties. The series previously showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla informally featured a quest that obviously nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
