AC Shadows Introduces Bizarre Attack on Titan Crossover for Thanksgiving
In a bizarre partnership that defies traditional forecasts, Ubisoft has announced an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering no-cost additional story content for Shadows players.
Strange Adventure Uncovered
According to the formal release, "A mysterious encounter pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh mission, where rumors of prohibited practices and terrifying metamorphoses resonate through the shadows." The narrative presents a "unusually garbed woman named Ada" who assigns the pair with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a secret group.
The questline centers on "bizarre trials and a terrifying adversary" and is open to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.
Iconic Locations and Changes
The preview highlights the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser concludes with a powerful moment showing a character, probably the prisoner, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.
Exclusive Prizes and Extra Content
Players who finish the quest will obtain an unique katana in addition to multiple objects hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also includes purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, offering:
- Titan-based costume for Yasuke
- Mikasa attire for Naoe
- Special implements
- Survey Corps vehicle
Third Free Story Addition
This patch also adds the game's latest no-cost story addition, titled "The Enigma." This playful quest teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade characteristic techniques: Naoe reveals a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-lethal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also features a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline.
Past Anime Crossovers
This signifies scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime properties. The series earlier showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially included a quest that obviously echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
