In a bizarre collaboration that defies usual expectations, Ubisoft has revealed an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, providing no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players.

Strange Questline Disclosed

According to the authorized release, "An unusual meeting draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where hints of prohibited practices and terrifying metamorphoses resonate through the obscurity." The narrative features a "strangely garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a clandestine group.

The mission focuses on "strange trials and a monstrous enemy" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.

Recognizable Settings and Changes

The preview features the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was previously where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The teaser concludes with a striking scene showing a character, probably the captive, transforming into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke.

Special Items and Bonus Material

Players who accomplish the mission will obtain an special katana together with numerous artifacts hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including:

• Titan-based costume for Yasuke
• Mikasa attire for Naoe
• Unique arms
• Survey Corps steed

This patch also adds the game's newest complimentary story episode, titled "The Mystery." This humorous mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature skills: Naoe introduces a dramatic variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline.

Past Anime Partnerships

This marks scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime series. The series formerly included a 2020 crossover story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that unmistakably referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
