🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Bizarre Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving In a surprising collaboration that defies traditional expectations, the game developer has revealed an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary extra story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Mission Revealed According to the authorized announcement, "An unusual confrontation pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where rumors of prohibited practices and fearsome transformations reverberate through the darkness." The storyline features a "strangely garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her ally from a hidden cult. The mission centers on "bizarre experiments and a monstrous adversary" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Transformations The teaser showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser ends with a dramatic scene showing a character, presumably the captive, changing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Rewards and Bonus Material Players who accomplish the mission will receive an special katana alongside several items concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Special implements Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Update This update also brings the game's third free story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This humorous adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature abilities: Naoe introduces a dramatic variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a new environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Collaborations This signifies scarcely the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime series. The series earlier showcased a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that unmistakably nodded to the popular series One-Punch Man.
