🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Bizarre Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving In a surprising crossover event that challenges traditional expectations, the game developer has revealed an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, providing no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Questline Disclosed According to the official announcement, "A strange encounter pulls heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where rumors of banned practices and monstrous changes resonate through the obscurity." The plot introduces a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the pair with traveling into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her ally from a secret cult. The mission concentrates on "bizarre experiments and a monstrous adversary" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Transformations The trailer features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was formerly where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through eras. The preview finishes with a striking moment showing a character, likely the captive, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Rewards and Extra Content Players who finish the mission will acquire an exclusive katana alongside numerous artifacts hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Unique arms Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Content This release also brings the game's newest free story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange distinctive techniques: Naoe reveals a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Crossovers This represents hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime properties. The series previously included a 2020 crossover story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly included a quest that clearly referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
