🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Surprising AoT Crossover for Thanksgiving In a surprising crossover event that challenges usual forecasts, Ubisoft has revealed an digital collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering free additional story content for Shadows players. Strange Questline Uncovered According to the authorized release, "A mysterious encounter draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh adventure, where hints of prohibited rituals and terrifying transformations reverberate through the obscurity." The storyline features a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a clandestine group. The adventure focuses on "peculiar tests and a monstrous enemy" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Iconic Locations and Transformations The preview showcases the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer ends with a dramatic sequence showing a character, likely the prisoner, transforming into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Bonus Content Players who successfully complete the mission will receive an unique katana alongside multiple objects secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-based attire for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Unique arms Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Addition This update also introduces the game's newest complimentary story content, titled "The Enigma." This lighthearted mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange distinctive abilities: Naoe introduces a performative interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also features a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Collaborations This represents hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime franchises. The series formerly featured a 2020 crossover story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly included a quest that unmistakably echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
