🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Bizarre AoT Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a bizarre crossover event that breaks traditional expectations, the game developer has revealed an virtual collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, offering free bonus story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Questline Disclosed According to the formal release, "An unusual meeting draws characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where rumors of forbidden rituals and fearsome changes resonate through the obscurity." The storyline introduces a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a secret sect. The questline concentrates on "bizarre trials and a fearsome adversary" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Metamorphoses The trailer showcases the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview finishes with a striking sequence showing a character, probably the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Rewards and Extra Features Players who successfully complete the mission will receive an special katana together with several artifacts hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also includes purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Exclusive implements Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Addition This patch also adds the game's third complimentary story addition, titled "The Enigma." This playful quest pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive skills: Naoe reveals a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also features a fresh environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Crossovers This signifies hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime series. The series earlier showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that unmistakably referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
