In a bizarre crossover event that breaks usual forecasts, the game developer has unveiled an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, providing complimentary extra story content for Shadows players.

Strange Questline Revealed

According to the formal announcement, "An unusual confrontation draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where rumors of banned ceremonies and monstrous metamorphoses reverberate through the darkness." The storyline introduces a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a hidden sect.

The questline concentrates on "strange experiments and a monstrous adversary" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.

Iconic Places and Changes

The preview features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The trailer concludes with a powerful moment showing a character, probably the captive, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.

Unique Items and Additional Features

Players who accomplish the mission will receive an special katana alongside multiple objects concealed throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring:

• Titan-inspired outfit for Yasuke
• Mikasa costume for Naoe
• Exclusive arms
• Survey Corps mount

Latest Free Story Update

This update also adds the game's latest complimentary story content, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful quest pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive skills: Naoe debuts a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a new environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline.

Earlier Anime Partnerships

This represents hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with famous anime franchises. The series earlier showcased a 2020 collaborative story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that unmistakably nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
