Assassin's Creed Introduces Surprising Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving

In a bizarre partnership that challenges usual predictions, the game developer has unveiled an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, providing free extra story content for Shadows players.

Mysterious Questline Uncovered

According to the authorized statement, "An unusual meeting pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where hints of forbidden rituals and terrifying transformations resonate through the shadows." The narrative introduces a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with venturing into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a secret group.

The questline centers on "bizarre tests and a monstrous foe" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.

Recognizable Places and Changes

The preview highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The preview concludes with a striking moment showing a character, probably the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.

Special Rewards and Bonus Content

Players who accomplish the adventure will obtain an exclusive katana together with numerous items concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring:

  • Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke
  • Mikasa attire for Naoe
  • Unique arms
  • Survey Corps steed

Newest Free Story Update

This release also introduces the game's latest no-cost story addition, titled "The Enigma." This playful mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic skills: Naoe debuts a performative variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-fatal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally explain some lingering questions from the main storyline.

Previous Japanese Animation Crossovers

This marks scarcely the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with famous anime franchises. The series previously showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that obviously referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
