🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Bizarre AoT Crossover for Thanksgiving In a unexpected crossover event that challenges conventional predictions, the game developer has announced an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, including free additional story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Mission Revealed According to the official announcement, "A strange meeting leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where rumors of prohibited ceremonies and terrifying transformations reverberate through the darkness." The plot introduces a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a secret sect. The adventure concentrates on "peculiar trials and a terrifying enemy" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Metamorphoses The preview highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The preview finishes with a dramatic sequence showing a character, probably the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Items and Bonus Content Players who accomplish the adventure will acquire an unique katana in addition to numerous objects concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features premium Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Exclusive weapons Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Update This release also brings the game's third free story content, titled "The Enigma." This lighthearted mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they swap signature techniques: Naoe introduces a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Earlier Japanese Animation Collaborations This marks not the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime properties. The series earlier featured a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that obviously echoed the famous series One-Punch Man.
