🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Unexpected Attack on Titan Collaboration for Holiday Season In a unexpected crossover event that breaks usual predictions, the game developer has revealed an in-game partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, providing free bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Mission Disclosed According to the authorized release, "A strange confrontation leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where hints of prohibited practices and fearsome transformations echo through the darkness." The narrative presents a "strangely garbed woman named Ada" who charges the characters with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a hidden group. The mission concentrates on "peculiar tests and a fearsome adversary" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Familiar Locations and Metamorphoses The teaser features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser ends with a dramatic scene showing a character, presumably the prisoner, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Rewards and Bonus Features Players who accomplish the mission will obtain an unique katana alongside several artifacts hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-themed attire for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Unique weapons Survey Corps steed Newest Free Story Addition This update also brings the game's third no-cost story content, titled "The Enigma." This lighthearted adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange distinctive skills: Naoe debuts a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Past Anime Crossovers This signifies not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime series. The series earlier included a 2020 collaborative story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that clearly referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
