🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Bizarre AoT Crossover for Holiday Season In a unexpected partnership that breaks conventional forecasts, the game developer has unveiled an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, providing complimentary extra story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Questline Uncovered According to the official statement, "A strange meeting pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new mission, where rumors of forbidden rituals and terrifying metamorphoses resonate through the shadows." The plot presents a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a hidden cult. The mission concentrates on "bizarre tests and a fearsome enemy" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Familiar Settings and Changes The preview features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer concludes with a striking sequence showing a character, presumably the prisoner, changing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Prizes and Additional Features Players who successfully complete the adventure will obtain an unique katana in addition to numerous objects hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-based attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Exclusive arms Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Update This patch also introduces the game's newest no-cost story content, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature skills: Naoe introduces a dramatic variation 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 shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Partnerships This signifies not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime franchises. The series earlier showcased a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that clearly referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
