🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Surprising AoT Collaboration for Holiday Season In a unexpected crossover event that challenges traditional predictions, the game developer has revealed an in-game partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering no-cost extra story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Mission Disclosed According to the formal announcement, "A mysterious confrontation leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where whispers of prohibited ceremonies and fearsome changes echo through the obscurity." The storyline presents a "strangely garbed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a secret cult. The mission focuses on "bizarre trials and a monstrous adversary" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Familiar Places and Changes The trailer features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview finishes with a striking sequence showing a character, presumably the captive, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Rewards and Additional Content Players who accomplish the quest will receive an unique katana together with numerous objects hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Exclusive implements Survey Corps vehicle Latest Free Story Content This release also adds the game's latest no-cost story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic abilities: Naoe debuts a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also features a fresh environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Past Anime Crossovers This signifies hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime franchises. The series formerly featured a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla informally included a quest that clearly nodded to the famous series One-Punch Man.
