🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Unexpected Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving In a surprising partnership that breaks traditional expectations, Ubisoft has revealed an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, providing no-cost additional story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Mission Disclosed According to the official announcement, "An unusual confrontation draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where hints of prohibited practices and monstrous transformations resonate through the shadows." The storyline introduces a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her ally from a hidden sect. The mission centers on "peculiar trials and a monstrous enemy" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Iconic Settings and Transformations The trailer highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser finishes with a dramatic scene showing a character, probably the prisoner, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Items and Bonus Material Players who successfully complete the adventure will receive an exclusive katana together with several objects hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Exclusive arms Survey Corps mount Latest Free Story Content This release also brings the game's third no-cost story episode, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted quest teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive skills: Naoe reveals a dramatic variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Earlier Anime Collaborations This marks not the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime properties. The series previously featured a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that clearly referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
