🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Surprising AoT Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a bizarre collaboration that breaks conventional expectations, the game developer has revealed an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, including free extra story content for Shadows players. Strange Mission Revealed According to the official statement, "A strange confrontation pulls heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where rumors of prohibited ceremonies and monstrous changes resonate through the darkness." The storyline presents a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who charges the duo with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a secret cult. The questline centers on "bizarre experiments and a fearsome enemy" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Iconic Locations and Transformations The teaser showcases the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer concludes with a dramatic sequence showing a character, likely the hostage, transforming into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Additional Content Players who accomplish the quest will receive an unique katana together with several items concealed throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features premium Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-based outfit for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Exclusive arms Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Content This patch also adds the game's latest free story episode, titled "The Enigma." This lighthearted adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic skills: Naoe introduces a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Crossovers This signifies not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime series. The series earlier included a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially contained a quest that obviously echoed the famous series One-Punch Man.
