AC Shadows Unveils Unexpected Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving
In a bizarre partnership that breaks conventional forecasts, Ubisoft has unveiled an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, providing free bonus story content for Shadows players.
Mysterious Adventure Disclosed
According to the authorized release, "An unusual confrontation leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where rumors of prohibited practices and monstrous metamorphoses reverberate through the obscurity." The plot introduces a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the pair with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a hidden group.
The adventure concentrates on "peculiar tests and a monstrous adversary" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.
Recognizable Settings and Changes
The teaser highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer ends with a dramatic sequence showing a character, probably the hostage, changing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke.
Unique Prizes and Extra Material
Players who successfully complete the quest will acquire an special katana together with numerous items secreted throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, offering:
- Titan-based costume for Yasuke
- Mikasa outfit for Naoe
- Exclusive weapons
- Survey Corps vehicle
Newest Free Story Update
This patch also adds the game's third complimentary story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive techniques: Naoe reveals a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Mystery" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline.
Previous Japanese Animation Crossovers
This represents not the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with well-known anime series. The series earlier featured a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla informally contained a quest that clearly referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
