🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Unexpected AoT Event for Thanksgiving In a surprising partnership that breaks usual forecasts, Ubisoft has unveiled an in-game partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, including free bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Mission Uncovered According to the formal announcement, "A strange encounter leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where whispers of banned rituals and fearsome changes resonate through the darkness." The storyline introduces a "strangely garbed woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a hidden sect. The mission centers on "strange tests and a terrifying foe" and is open to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Metamorphoses The teaser highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview ends with a powerful moment showing a character, probably the captive, transforming into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Rewards and Extra Material Players who successfully complete the quest will acquire an special katana alongside numerous items hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-themed costume for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Unique arms Survey Corps mount Newest Free Story Addition This release also brings the game's third complimentary story content, titled "The Enigma." This humorous adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap signature techniques: Naoe debuts a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a original environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline. Past Anime Partnerships This marks not the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with popular anime properties. The series previously showcased a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that clearly nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
