🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Unexpected Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a surprising crossover event that defies traditional predictions, the game developer has announced an digital collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, including free extra story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Adventure Disclosed According to the formal announcement, "A strange meeting pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh mission, where hints of forbidden ceremonies and fearsome changes resonate through the obscurity." The plot features a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the pair with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a secret cult. The mission centers on "bizarre trials and a terrifying adversary" and is open to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Iconic Settings and Metamorphoses The trailer showcases the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer finishes with a powerful sequence showing a character, presumably the hostage, changing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Prizes and Bonus Material Players who successfully complete the quest will acquire an special katana together with numerous objects secreted throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-themed attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Unique weapons Survey Corps mount Latest Free Story Update This patch also brings the game's newest no-cost story content, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful quest pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature abilities: Naoe reveals a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may finally explain some lingering questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Crossovers This represents scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime properties. The series earlier showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla informally included a quest that unmistakably echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
