🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Surprising Attack on Titan Event for Holiday Season In a surprising collaboration that defies conventional predictions, Ubisoft has revealed an in-game collaboration 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 no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players. Strange Adventure Uncovered According to the authorized statement, "A mysterious meeting leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where hints of banned practices and monstrous metamorphoses resonate through the shadows." The narrative presents a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a clandestine group. The questline focuses on "strange experiments and a monstrous adversary" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Familiar Places and Changes The preview features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer finishes with a powerful scene showing a character, presumably the captive, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Prizes and Extra Features Players who finish the adventure will receive an exclusive katana alongside several artifacts secreted throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also includes purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Exclusive arms Survey Corps mount Newest Free Story Update This release also adds the game's third free story episode, titled "A Puzzlement." This humorous adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature techniques: Naoe reveals a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Crossovers This signifies scarcely the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime franchises. The series earlier included a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly included a quest that obviously referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
