AC Shadows Unveils Unexpected Attack on Titan Crossover for Thanksgiving
In a unexpected collaboration that defies conventional forecasts, the game developer has unveiled an virtual collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering no-cost extra story content for Shadows players.
Strange Questline Revealed
According to the authorized statement, "A mysterious meeting leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where rumors of banned ceremonies and monstrous changes resonate through the darkness." The narrative presents a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a clandestine cult.
The mission focuses on "strange tests and a monstrous adversary" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.
Recognizable Settings and Transformations
The teaser showcases the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser concludes with a powerful sequence showing a character, presumably the prisoner, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.
Exclusive Rewards and Bonus Content
Players who accomplish the quest will receive an unique katana in addition to numerous objects concealed throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also features premium Attack on Titan item packs, featuring:
- Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke
- Mikasa costume for Naoe
- Unique weapons
- Survey Corps steed
Latest Free Story Addition
This update also brings the game's latest free story content, titled "The Mystery." This lighthearted adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive skills: Naoe debuts a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a fresh environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some lingering questions from the main storyline.
Past Anime Collaborations
This signifies scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with well-known anime franchises. 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 obviously echoed the famous series One-Punch Man.
