🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Surprising Attack on Titan Crossover for Holiday Season In a bizarre partnership that challenges usual expectations, the game developer has revealed an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering free extra story content for Shadows players. Strange Adventure Revealed According to the formal statement, "A strange confrontation draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new mission, where rumors of forbidden rituals and monstrous transformations reverberate through the shadows." The plot presents a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who charges the duo with venturing into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her ally from a hidden cult. The mission centers on "peculiar trials and a monstrous adversary" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Iconic Locations and Changes The preview highlights 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 preview concludes with a striking scene showing a character, presumably the captive, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Items and Extra Content Players who accomplish the mission will receive an exclusive katana alongside several artifacts hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-based outfit for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Unique weapons Survey Corps mount Third Free Story Content This release also introduces the game's newest no-cost story addition, titled "The Enigma." This humorous quest pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature skills: Naoe introduces a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Partnerships This represents hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with popular anime properties. The series formerly featured a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that unmistakably nodded to the famous series One-Punch Man.
