🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Unexpected Attack on Titan Crossover for Holiday Season In a surprising partnership that breaks traditional expectations, Ubisoft has announced an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, offering no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players. Strange Questline Revealed According to the official release, "An unusual confrontation draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new mission, where rumors of banned ceremonies and monstrous metamorphoses resonate through the darkness." The storyline features a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with traveling into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her ally from a hidden cult. The questline focuses on "strange tests and a monstrous adversary" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Familiar Locations and Transformations The teaser features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through ages. The preview concludes with a powerful sequence showing a character, probably the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Additional Features Players who accomplish the quest will acquire an unique katana together with several artifacts concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also includes premium Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-themed attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Exclusive arms Survey Corps steed Third Free Story Content This patch also adds the game's newest complimentary story content, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted adventure partners Naoe and Yasuke as they trade characteristic skills: 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 original environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Partnerships This represents hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime properties. The series formerly showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly included a quest that obviously nodded to the famous series One-Punch Man.
