Assassin's Creed Introduces Surprising AoT Collaboration for Thanksgiving

In a surprising collaboration that challenges usual forecasts, Ubisoft has unveiled an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary extra story content for Shadows players.

Peculiar Adventure Disclosed

According to the official announcement, "A mysterious encounter draws characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where rumors of forbidden practices and fearsome transformations reverberate through the obscurity." The plot features a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who charges the pair with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a secret group.

The questline centers on "peculiar trials and a fearsome adversary" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.

Recognizable Locations and Transformations

The trailer features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The teaser ends with a striking moment showing a character, probably the captive, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke.

Exclusive Rewards and Bonus Material

Players who successfully complete the quest will obtain an unique katana alongside numerous objects concealed throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, offering:

  • Titan-inspired outfit for Yasuke
  • Mikasa attire for Naoe
  • Unique weapons
  • Survey Corps mount

Newest Free Story Update

This patch also brings the game's newest complimentary story episode, titled "The Enigma." This playful adventure partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic skills: Naoe reveals a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-lethal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline.

Past Anime Collaborations

This signifies scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime properties. The series formerly featured a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly included a quest that unmistakably echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
