In a bizarre partnership that challenges usual predictions, Ubisoft has announced an virtual crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost extra story content for Shadows players.

Strange Questline Revealed

According to the authorized release, "An unusual confrontation leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh mission, where hints of banned rituals and terrifying changes reverberate through the darkness." The plot features a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with venturing into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a hidden group.

The questline focuses on "strange tests and a fearsome foe" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.

Iconic Places and Transformations

The preview highlights the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview concludes with a dramatic moment showing a character, probably the hostage, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke.

Unique Prizes and Extra Features

Players who finish the quest will receive an exclusive katana together with numerous objects secreted throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring:

• Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke
• Mikasa outfit for Naoe
• Unique implements
• Survey Corps mount

Newest Free Story Update

This update also introduces the game's newest no-cost story episode, titled "The Enigma." This playful mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive skills: Naoe reveals a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline.

Past Anime Collaborations

This signifies scarcely the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime franchises. 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 clearly echoed the famous series One-Punch Man.
