🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Unexpected AoT Crossover for Thanksgiving In a surprising partnership that defies usual predictions, the game developer has revealed an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, providing free extra story content for Shadows players. Strange Mission Disclosed According to the authorized statement, "A strange meeting pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where rumors of prohibited practices and monstrous metamorphoses reverberate through the shadows." The storyline introduces a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the pair with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a secret group. The questline concentrates on "strange tests and a monstrous foe" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Changes The preview highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser ends with a powerful moment showing a character, probably the captive, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Items and Extra Material Players who accomplish the quest will receive an exclusive katana in addition to multiple objects concealed throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features premium Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-based outfit for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Special implements Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Addition This update also introduces the game's newest no-cost story content, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive abilities: Naoe debuts a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also features a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Partnerships This marks hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime properties. The series earlier included a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that unmistakably referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
