Assassin's Creed Unveils Bizarre Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving
In a unexpected crossover event that defies traditional expectations, Ubisoft has announced an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary extra story content for Shadows players.
Peculiar Adventure Disclosed
According to the official announcement, "An unusual encounter draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where rumors of prohibited ceremonies and terrifying transformations resonate through the obscurity." The narrative features a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the pair with venturing into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a secret group.
The questline concentrates on "peculiar experiments and a fearsome enemy" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.
Familiar Places and Transformations
The trailer highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser ends with a powerful sequence showing a character, probably the captive, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke.
Unique Rewards and Extra Content
Players who finish the quest will receive an special katana alongside multiple items hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring:
- Titan-based outfit for Yasuke
- Mikasa outfit for Naoe
- Exclusive implements
- Survey Corps mount
Latest Free Story Content
This release also brings the game's latest free story episode, titled "The Enigma." This lighthearted mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic abilities: Naoe reveals a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may finally explain some lingering questions from the main storyline.
Earlier Anime Collaborations
This signifies not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime properties. The series previously included a 2020 collaborative story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla informally featured a quest that obviously referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
