In a bizarre collaboration that breaks traditional predictions, Ubisoft has announced an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary additional story content for Shadows players.

Peculiar Adventure Disclosed

According to the official release, "An unusual meeting draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where whispers of banned ceremonies and monstrous changes resonate through the shadows." The storyline introduces a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with traveling into the Crystalline Cavern—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a hidden cult.

The questline concentrates on "bizarre experiments and a fearsome adversary" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.

Iconic Places and Metamorphoses

The teaser showcases the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser concludes with a striking sequence showing a character, presumably the hostage, changing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke.

Exclusive Prizes and Bonus Material

Players who accomplish the quest will receive an special katana in addition to numerous objects concealed throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, offering:

• Titan-based outfit for Yasuke
• Mikasa costume for Naoe
• Unique weapons
• Survey Corps steed

Third Free Story Addition

This update also introduces the game's latest free story content, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature techniques: Naoe debuts a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-fatal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline.

Past Japanese Animation Crossovers

This signifies scarcely the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime franchises. The series formerly included a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that unmistakably referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
