In a unexpected partnership that breaks conventional predictions, Ubisoft has unveiled an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, providing no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players.

Strange Adventure Revealed

According to the authorized announcement, "An unusual encounter leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where rumors of prohibited ceremonies and terrifying transformations reverberate through the shadows." The narrative introduces a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her ally from a hidden sect.

The mission centers on "strange experiments and a terrifying adversary" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.

Familiar Places and Metamorphoses

The preview features the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The teaser concludes with a dramatic sequence showing a character, likely the prisoner, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.

Special Prizes and Extra Content

Players who accomplish the mission will acquire an unique katana alongside multiple artifacts concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering:

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

This update also introduces the game's third no-cost story episode, titled "The Enigma." This playful adventure partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic skills: Naoe debuts a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline.

Earlier Japanese Animation Collaborations

This represents hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime franchises. The series formerly showcased a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla informally contained a quest that unmistakably nodded to the popular series One-Punch Man.
