🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Introduces Bizarre Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving In a unexpected collaboration that challenges conventional forecasts, the game developer has revealed an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, offering no-cost extra story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Uncovered According to the formal statement, "A strange meeting draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where rumors of prohibited ceremonies and fearsome transformations reverberate through the obscurity." The narrative features a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a secret cult. The questline concentrates on "peculiar experiments and a monstrous enemy" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Familiar Places and Transformations The teaser showcases the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The preview finishes with a dramatic scene showing a character, likely the captive, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Extra Material Players who successfully complete the quest will obtain an special katana together with several items secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes premium Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-based outfit for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Unique implements Survey Corps mount Newest Free Story Update This release also brings the game's latest complimentary story content, titled "The Enigma." This humorous adventure partners Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature skills: Naoe introduces a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Collaborations This signifies hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime franchises. The series earlier featured a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that unmistakably nodded to the popular series One-Punch Man.
