Assassin's Creed Reveals Surprising Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving

In a surprising collaboration that defies traditional predictions, the game developer has unveiled an virtual crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, offering no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players.

Strange Adventure Uncovered

According to the authorized release, "A strange meeting pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where whispers of banned ceremonies and fearsome transformations reverberate through the darkness." The storyline presents a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who charges the characters with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a secret sect.

The adventure concentrates on "bizarre experiments and a terrifying adversary" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.

Familiar Places and Transformations

The preview showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser finishes with a striking sequence showing a character, likely the prisoner, transforming into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke.

Exclusive Items and Additional Material

Players who finish the adventure will obtain an special katana in addition to multiple artifacts hidden throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, offering:

• Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke
• Mikasa costume for Naoe
• Unique implements
• Survey Corps steed

Latest Free Story Addition

This patch also introduces the game's newest free story addition, titled "The Mystery." This lighthearted mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange distinctive techniques: Naoe introduces a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also includes a new environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some unresolved questions from the main storyline.

Earlier Japanese Animation Partnerships

This signifies hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime series. The series previously included a 2020 collaborative story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly included a quest that unmistakably referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
