🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Surprising AoT Crossover for Thanksgiving In a bizarre collaboration that challenges traditional 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, providing complimentary additional story content for Shadows players. Strange Adventure Uncovered According to the authorized announcement, "A strange meeting leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where hints of banned rituals and monstrous metamorphoses echo through the darkness." The narrative introduces a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who charges the duo with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a hidden cult. The questline centers on "peculiar tests and a fearsome foe" and is open to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Recognizable Locations and Transformations The trailer highlights the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser concludes with a powerful scene showing a character, likely the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Rewards and Extra Features Players who accomplish the quest will receive an unique katana in addition to multiple objects hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special implements Survey Corps steed Newest Free Story Addition This patch also adds the game's third free story addition, titled "The Enigma." This lighthearted adventure partners Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive abilities: Naoe debuts a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Earlier Japanese Animation Collaborations This signifies scarcely the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime franchises. The series previously featured a 2020 collaborative story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that obviously referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
