🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Introduces Bizarre AoT Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a bizarre partnership that challenges conventional expectations, the game developer has unveiled an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, providing no-cost extra story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Adventure Uncovered According to the official release, "A mysterious confrontation leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where rumors of prohibited practices and monstrous metamorphoses reverberate through the obscurity." The plot introduces a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a hidden cult. The adventure concentrates on "bizarre tests and a terrifying foe" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Recognizable Locations and Changes The teaser features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview concludes with a dramatic sequence showing a character, presumably the hostage, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Prizes and Extra Features Players who finish the quest will obtain an special katana alongside several items concealed throughout the area in secret chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special implements Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Content This patch also brings the game's third complimentary story episode, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful quest teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive techniques: Naoe introduces a dramatic interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Earlier Japanese Animation Partnerships This marks hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime series. The series previously included a 2020 crossover story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that clearly echoed the famous series One-Punch Man.
