🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Introduces Unexpected AoT Crossover for Holiday Season In a surprising partnership that breaks usual forecasts, Ubisoft has announced an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary additional story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Revealed According to the authorized announcement, "A mysterious confrontation pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where hints of forbidden rituals and terrifying metamorphoses reverberate through the obscurity." The narrative features a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who charges the characters with traveling into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a clandestine group. The adventure focuses on "bizarre tests and a monstrous enemy" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Iconic Settings and Transformations The teaser features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser concludes with a powerful scene showing a character, probably the prisoner, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Prizes and Bonus Material Players who finish the mission will obtain an exclusive katana alongside several items concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-based costume for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Exclusive implements Survey Corps steed Newest Free Story Update This patch also adds the game's third free story addition, titled "The Enigma." This playful adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature abilities: Naoe reveals a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Crossovers This marks hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with well-known anime franchises. The series earlier featured a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that obviously referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
