AC Shadows Introduces Surprising Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving
In a bizarre partnership that challenges traditional predictions, Ubisoft has revealed an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, providing no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players.
Peculiar Adventure Revealed
According to the authorized statement, "A mysterious meeting draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new mission, where hints of prohibited practices and fearsome transformations echo through the obscurity." The plot introduces a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who charges the duo with venturing into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a hidden group.
The mission concentrates on "peculiar experiments and a terrifying adversary" and is open to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.
Iconic Settings and Changes
The teaser highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser ends with a striking moment showing a character, presumably the captive, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.
Unique Prizes and Bonus Material
Players who accomplish the mission will acquire an special katana together with multiple items secreted throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features premium Attack on Titan item packs, offering:
- Titan-themed costume for Yasuke
- Mikasa costume for Naoe
- Exclusive arms
- Survey Corps mount
Latest Free Story Addition
This patch also adds the game's third no-cost story addition, titled "The Mystery." This playful adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade characteristic techniques: Naoe reveals a performative variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some lingering questions from the main storyline.
Previous Japanese Animation Collaborations
This marks not the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime series. The series previously featured a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla informally included a quest that unmistakably echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
