🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Unexpected AoT Crossover for Thanksgiving In a surprising partnership that breaks traditional expectations, Ubisoft has revealed an in-game crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, providing free additional story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Questline Disclosed According to the authorized release, "A strange encounter draws characters Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where whispers of banned practices and monstrous changes resonate through the obscurity." The storyline introduces a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a secret cult. The mission centers on "strange tests and a terrifying foe" and is open to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Iconic Settings and Transformations The trailer showcases 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 trailer finishes with a striking moment showing a character, probably the hostage, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Bonus Material Players who finish the quest will acquire an special katana together with multiple artifacts hidden throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Special arms Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Update This release also introduces the game's newest free story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful mission partners Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature techniques: Naoe reveals a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Collaborations This marks hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with well-known anime properties. The series formerly featured a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla informally contained a quest that unmistakably echoed the famous series One-Punch Man.
