🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Bizarre AoT Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a unexpected collaboration that challenges traditional expectations, the game developer has revealed an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, offering free bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Questline Uncovered According to the formal statement, "An unusual encounter pulls heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh mission, where whispers of banned practices and monstrous changes resonate through the obscurity." The storyline introduces a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who charges the duo with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a hidden group. The mission focuses on "bizarre experiments and a fearsome adversary" and is open to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Iconic Settings and Metamorphoses The trailer features the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview concludes with a dramatic moment showing a character, probably the hostage, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Items and Bonus Content Players who successfully complete the adventure will obtain an unique katana in addition to several artifacts hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Special weapons Survey Corps mount Third Free Story Update This release also adds the game's newest free story addition, titled "The Mystery." This humorous mission partners Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature techniques: Naoe introduces a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Partnerships This represents hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with popular anime franchises. The series earlier included a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla informally contained a quest that unmistakably echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
