In a bizarre collaboration that challenges traditional predictions, Ubisoft has announced an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost additional story content for Shadows players.

Mysterious Questline Uncovered

According to the official statement, "An unusual meeting leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where whispers of forbidden rituals and terrifying transformations resonate through the darkness." The plot features a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who tasks the pair with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a hidden sect.

The questline concentrates on "strange tests and a terrifying enemy" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.

Recognizable Settings and Changes

The teaser highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer finishes with a powerful scene showing a character, likely the captive, changing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke.

Special Prizes and Bonus Features

Players who accomplish the quest will acquire an special katana together with numerous objects hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including:

• Titan-themed attire for Yasuke
• Mikasa attire for Naoe
• Exclusive arms
• Survey Corps vehicle

Third Free Story Addition

This update also adds the game's newest complimentary story episode, titled "The Enigma." This humorous quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature skills: Naoe debuts a performative interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-fatal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline.

Earlier Anime Crossovers

This represents not the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with famous anime series. The series formerly featured a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla informally contained a quest that unmistakably referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
