AC Shadows Reveals Bizarre Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving
In a surprising collaboration that breaks traditional predictions, Ubisoft has announced an digital collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players.
Mysterious Mission Revealed
According to the authorized statement, "A strange meeting pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where hints of banned ceremonies and terrifying transformations echo through the obscurity." The narrative features a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the pair with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a clandestine group.
The questline centers on "peculiar tests and a terrifying foe" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.
Recognizable Places and Changes
The trailer showcases the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview finishes with a powerful sequence showing a character, likely the prisoner, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.
Exclusive Items and Additional Material
Players who accomplish the mission will acquire an exclusive katana in addition to numerous items secreted throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including:
- Titan-based outfit for Yasuke
- Mikasa costume for Naoe
- Exclusive implements
- Survey Corps mount
Newest Free Story Addition
This patch also adds the game's newest free story addition, titled "The Mystery." This playful quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature skills: Naoe introduces a performative variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may finally explain some unresolved questions from the main storyline.
Previous Anime Crossovers
This signifies hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with popular anime franchises. The series previously showcased a 2020 collaborative story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla informally featured a quest that unmistakably referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
