🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Bizarre AoT Event for Holiday Season In a surprising partnership that challenges traditional predictions, Ubisoft has announced an digital collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering no-cost extra story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Adventure Disclosed According to the authorized release, "A mysterious confrontation draws characters Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where rumors of forbidden practices and fearsome transformations reverberate through the darkness." The storyline features a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the pair with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a hidden sect. The questline focuses on "bizarre tests and a terrifying adversary" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Recognizable Locations and Changes The teaser showcases the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser ends with a striking sequence showing a character, likely the prisoner, changing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Items and Bonus Material Players who finish the adventure will obtain an unique katana alongside multiple items hidden throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-based attire for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special implements Survey Corps mount Newest Free Story Addition This update also adds the game's latest free story episode, titled "A Puzzlement." This humorous adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature skills: Naoe debuts a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Crossovers This marks not the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime franchises. The series previously featured a 2020 crossover story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla informally included a quest that obviously nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
