🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Unexpected AoT Event for Holiday Season In a unexpected crossover event that defies traditional forecasts, Ubisoft has announced an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, including free bonus story content for Shadows players. Strange Questline Revealed According to the formal announcement, "A mysterious meeting leads characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where rumors of prohibited practices and monstrous changes echo through the darkness." The narrative features a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who charges the characters with traveling into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a hidden sect. The questline focuses on "peculiar tests and a fearsome foe" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Metamorphoses The teaser showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer ends with a striking moment showing a character, presumably the captive, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Additional Features Players who accomplish the quest will acquire an unique katana together with multiple objects secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-themed attire for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special implements Survey Corps mount Latest Free Story Update This update also brings the game's latest no-cost story content, titled "The Mystery." This lighthearted adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic skills: Naoe debuts a dramatic variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also features a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally explain some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Past Anime Crossovers This marks hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime properties. The series previously showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that obviously referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
