🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Unexpected AoT Event for Holiday Season In a bizarre crossover event that defies usual predictions, Ubisoft has announced an digital collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Adventure Revealed According to the official announcement, "A mysterious encounter leads characters Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where rumors of forbidden practices and fearsome transformations echo through the obscurity." The narrative introduces a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who charges the characters with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a hidden sect. The mission centers on "peculiar tests and a fearsome foe" and is open to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Iconic Settings and Changes The trailer features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The preview ends with a striking scene showing a character, presumably the prisoner, changing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Items and Bonus Content Players who finish the adventure will obtain an exclusive katana alongside multiple objects secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Unique implements Survey Corps steed Newest Free Story Content This patch also adds the game's latest free story episode, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted mission partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive techniques: Naoe reveals a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also features a new environmental puzzle that may ultimately shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Partnerships This marks hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime properties. The series earlier included a 2020 crossover story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that unmistakably echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
