🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Bizarre AoT Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a bizarre crossover event that breaks conventional forecasts, Ubisoft has unveiled an in-game partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering no-cost additional story content for Shadows players. Strange Questline Disclosed According to the formal announcement, "A strange confrontation leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where whispers of banned rituals and monstrous transformations echo through the obscurity." The storyline introduces a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with venturing into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a clandestine group. The mission focuses on "strange trials and a monstrous foe" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Iconic Locations and Transformations The trailer features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser finishes with a striking moment showing a character, presumably the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Rewards and Additional Features Players who finish the quest will receive an unique katana alongside several objects secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Unique arms Survey Corps mount Latest Free Story Update This patch also brings the game's newest free story content, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted adventure partners Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive skills: Naoe introduces a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline. Earlier Japanese Animation Partnerships This marks not the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime properties. The series previously showcased a 2020 crossover story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla informally contained a quest that unmistakably echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
