🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Unexpected AoT Event for Holiday Season In a unexpected collaboration that defies usual expectations, the game developer has unveiled an virtual crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, providing complimentary additional story content for Shadows players. Strange Adventure Disclosed According to the official announcement, "A strange meeting pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where rumors of forbidden practices and monstrous transformations reverberate through the darkness." The plot features a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her friend from a hidden sect. The mission centers on "peculiar experiments and a terrifying foe" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Iconic Settings and Changes The preview showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser finishes with a powerful scene showing a character, probably the prisoner, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Rewards and Bonus Features Players who accomplish the quest will acquire an exclusive katana alongside numerous objects concealed throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Unique arms Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Addition This release also adds the game's latest no-cost story content, titled "A Puzzlement." This humorous quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange distinctive abilities: Naoe introduces a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-fatal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may finally explain some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Earlier Japanese Animation Crossovers This represents not the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime franchises. The series previously showcased a 2020 collaborative story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that unmistakably referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
