🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Surprising AoT Crossover for Holiday Season In a bizarre partnership that challenges conventional forecasts, Ubisoft has revealed an in-game 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, including no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players. Strange Adventure Disclosed According to the official statement, "A mysterious encounter pulls heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where hints of banned rituals and monstrous metamorphoses resonate through the shadows." The plot presents a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a clandestine cult. The mission centers on "bizarre experiments and a monstrous foe" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Iconic Locations and Metamorphoses The trailer features the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer ends with a striking sequence showing a character, presumably the captive, transforming into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Rewards and Extra Material Players who accomplish the quest will obtain an exclusive katana in addition to multiple objects concealed throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-based attire for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Unique weapons Survey Corps vehicle Latest Free Story Addition This release also adds the game's third no-cost story episode, titled "The Enigma." This lighthearted quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap signature skills: Naoe debuts a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Partnerships This represents not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with popular anime properties. The series formerly included a 2020 crossover story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly included a quest that obviously echoed the famous series One-Punch Man.
