🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Bizarre AoT Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a bizarre collaboration that defies usual expectations, the game developer has revealed an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, providing no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Revealed According to the official release, "A mysterious encounter draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where hints of prohibited practices and monstrous metamorphoses resonate through the shadows." The narrative introduces a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the pair with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a hidden sect. The adventure focuses on "peculiar trials and a terrifying enemy" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Transformations The trailer features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer finishes with a powerful sequence showing a character, probably the captive, transforming into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Items and Additional Content Players who finish the mission will obtain an special katana together with several objects secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Exclusive arms Survey Corps mount Third Free Story Content This patch also introduces the game's third complimentary story content, titled "The Mystery." This lighthearted quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they trade characteristic techniques: Naoe reveals a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some lingering questions from the main storyline. Past Anime Crossovers This marks hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime franchises. The series previously included a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that obviously nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
