🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Bizarre Attack on Titan Event for Holiday Season In a bizarre collaboration that breaks traditional expectations, the game developer has revealed an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering free additional story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Revealed According to the formal statement, "A strange meeting draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where whispers of forbidden rituals and terrifying transformations resonate through the shadows." The storyline introduces a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who charges the pair with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a hidden sect. The questline centers on "bizarre trials and a monstrous foe" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Recognizable Places and Metamorphoses The trailer showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser concludes with a striking scene showing a character, likely the hostage, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Prizes and Bonus Content Players who successfully complete the mission will receive an unique katana together with numerous artifacts secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-inspired outfit for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Unique arms Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Addition This patch also brings the game's third free story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This humorous mission partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive skills: Naoe debuts a dramatic interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Partnerships This marks scarcely the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime properties. The series earlier showcased a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla informally contained a quest that clearly echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
