AC Shadows Reveals Bizarre Attack on Titan Crossover for Thanksgiving

In a surprising partnership that breaks conventional forecasts, the game developer has revealed an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, including free additional story content for Shadows players.

Strange Mission Revealed

According to the authorized statement, "An unusual meeting leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh mission, where rumors of prohibited ceremonies and monstrous transformations echo through the obscurity." The narrative presents a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who charges the pair with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a secret group.

The mission concentrates on "strange trials and a monstrous foe" and is open to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.

Familiar Locations and Transformations

The trailer highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview finishes with a powerful scene showing a character, likely the prisoner, transforming into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke.

Special Prizes and Additional Content

Players who accomplish the adventure will receive an exclusive katana in addition to numerous items secreted throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring:

  • Titan-based outfit for Yasuke
  • Mikasa outfit for Naoe
  • Unique implements
  • Survey Corps steed

Third Free Story Addition

This patch also introduces the game's third no-cost story episode, titled "The Enigma." This humorous adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature techniques: Naoe reveals a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some lingering questions from the main storyline.

Earlier Anime Partnerships

This represents not the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime series. The series earlier included a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla informally featured a quest that unmistakably referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
