🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Introduces Surprising Attack on Titan Crossover for Thanksgiving In a surprising crossover event that breaks usual forecasts, the game developer has announced an in-game crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, providing no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players. Strange Adventure Revealed According to the formal announcement, "A mysterious meeting pulls heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where whispers of banned practices and fearsome changes echo through the shadows." The storyline introduces a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with venturing into the Crystalline Cavern—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a clandestine cult. The adventure centers on "bizarre experiments and a fearsome enemy" and is open to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Familiar Places and Changes The preview features the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The teaser concludes with a powerful moment showing a character, presumably the captive, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Items and Bonus Features Players who successfully complete the adventure will acquire an exclusive katana together with several objects secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Unique arms Survey Corps vehicle Latest Free Story Content This update also brings the game's third free story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic abilities: Naoe reveals a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Enigma" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Earlier Anime Crossovers This represents hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime series. The series previously included a 2020 collaborative story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly included a quest that obviously referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
