In a surprising partnership that defies conventional forecasts, Ubisoft has unveiled an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, providing free extra story content for Shadows players.

Peculiar Adventure Revealed

According to the authorized release, "A strange meeting draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where hints of prohibited rituals and fearsome transformations reverberate through the obscurity." The storyline presents a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with venturing into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a clandestine group.

The mission concentrates on "peculiar trials and a terrifying enemy" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.

Familiar Places and Changes

The preview showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser concludes with a powerful scene showing a character, presumably the hostage, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke.

Unique Prizes and Extra Features

Players who finish the adventure will acquire an unique katana in addition to numerous objects secreted throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering:

• Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke
• Mikasa outfit for Naoe
• Exclusive arms
• Survey Corps steed

Latest Free Story Content

This release also introduces the game's newest complimentary story episode, titled "The Mystery." This humorous mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive abilities: Naoe introduces a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a new environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline.

Past Japanese Animation Collaborations

This signifies scarcely the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime franchises. The series earlier featured a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that unmistakably echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
