🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Introduces Bizarre AoT Crossover for Thanksgiving In a unexpected partnership that defies traditional predictions, Ubisoft has announced an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, offering free bonus story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Revealed According to the authorized release, "An unusual confrontation draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where whispers of banned ceremonies and fearsome changes resonate through the darkness." The storyline features a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who charges the duo with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a clandestine cult. The questline concentrates on "bizarre experiments and a terrifying foe" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Iconic Settings and Metamorphoses The trailer features the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The trailer finishes with a dramatic moment showing a character, probably the prisoner, transforming into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Rewards and Additional Material Players who accomplish the adventure will acquire an unique katana together with numerous artifacts hidden throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes premium Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-based costume for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Special weapons Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Content This release also introduces the game's third no-cost story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic techniques: Naoe introduces a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also includes a new environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Partnerships This marks hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime properties. The series previously featured a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly included a quest that clearly referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
