🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Unexpected AoT Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a bizarre crossover event that challenges usual forecasts, the game developer has revealed an in-game crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost additional story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Uncovered According to the formal announcement, "A mysterious encounter leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where whispers of banned practices and fearsome changes resonate through the shadows." The plot presents a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a hidden group. The adventure focuses on "bizarre tests and a fearsome adversary" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Iconic Locations and Changes The teaser features the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview ends with a dramatic scene showing a character, presumably the hostage, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Bonus Features Players who successfully complete the mission will receive an unique katana together with numerous objects concealed throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Unique weapons Survey Corps vehicle Latest Free Story Update This release also introduces the game's newest complimentary story addition, titled "The Mystery." This humorous mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange distinctive techniques: Naoe reveals a dramatic variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Earlier Anime Partnerships This represents not the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime franchises. The series previously included a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that obviously referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
