🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Surprising Attack on Titan Crossover for Holiday Season In a unexpected crossover event that defies usual forecasts, Ubisoft has revealed an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Questline Uncovered According to the authorized release, "An unusual encounter leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where rumors of forbidden rituals and terrifying changes echo through the obscurity." The narrative presents a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the pair with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a clandestine group. The questline focuses on "strange tests and a monstrous adversary" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Familiar Settings and Metamorphoses The teaser highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through ages. The trailer finishes with a dramatic moment showing a character, presumably the hostage, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Items and Extra Material Players who successfully complete the mission will receive an exclusive katana alongside multiple objects secreted throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-themed attire for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special implements Survey Corps vehicle Newest Free Story Content This update also brings the game's newest no-cost story content, titled "The Enigma." This playful quest teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap signature abilities: Naoe introduces a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Earlier Anime Partnerships This represents not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime franchises. The series earlier featured a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla informally included a quest that unmistakably referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
