In a surprising partnership that defies traditional predictions, Ubisoft has revealed an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, providing complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players.

Mysterious Mission Uncovered

According to the formal statement, "An unusual confrontation pulls heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where whispers of banned practices and monstrous transformations reverberate through the obscurity." The narrative presents a "strangely garbed woman named Ada" who assigns the pair with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a secret cult.

The mission focuses on "bizarre experiments and a terrifying enemy" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.

Familiar Locations and Transformations

The teaser features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through ages. The trailer concludes with a dramatic sequence showing a character, probably the captive, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.

Exclusive Items and Additional Features

Players who finish the quest will obtain an exclusive katana together with multiple artifacts concealed throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering:

• Titan-based attire for Yasuke
• Mikasa attire for Naoe
• Exclusive weapons
• Survey Corps mount

Latest Free Story Update

This update also brings the game's newest no-cost story addition, titled "The Mystery." This playful quest pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic skills: Naoe reveals a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-fatal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some unresolved questions from the main storyline.

Past Anime Crossovers

This signifies scarcely the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with popular anime properties. The series earlier featured a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that clearly echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
