Assassin's Creed Introduces Surprising Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving
In a bizarre collaboration that defies conventional forecasts, Ubisoft has announced an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, providing complimentary extra story content for Shadows players.
Mysterious Mission Disclosed
According to the formal statement, "A strange meeting leads characters Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where hints of prohibited practices and terrifying changes resonate through the obscurity." The plot presents a "unusually garbed woman named Ada" who charges the duo with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her friend from a secret cult.
The mission centers on "strange tests and a terrifying foe" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.
Iconic Locations and Transformations
The preview features the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through ages. The preview ends with a dramatic sequence showing a character, likely the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.
Special Prizes and Bonus Features
Players who accomplish the quest will acquire an special katana together with multiple objects concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, offering:
- Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke
- Mikasa attire for Naoe
- Exclusive arms
- Survey Corps mount
Third Free Story Update
This patch also adds the game's latest no-cost story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted quest teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive techniques: Naoe introduces a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also features a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some unanswered questions from the main storyline.
Past Japanese Animation Crossovers
This signifies hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime properties. The series earlier featured a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla informally contained a quest that clearly referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
