🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Bizarre AoT Crossover for Holiday Season In a unexpected collaboration that challenges usual forecasts, Ubisoft has announced an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering free additional story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Mission Uncovered According to the official announcement, "A mysterious encounter draws characters Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh mission, where hints of forbidden ceremonies and fearsome metamorphoses reverberate through the darkness." The plot introduces a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with traveling into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a secret sect. The mission focuses on "strange tests and a monstrous adversary" and is open to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Familiar Locations and Transformations The trailer highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser finishes with a striking scene showing a character, likely the captive, transforming into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Rewards and Additional Material Players who finish the mission will obtain an unique katana alongside multiple artifacts hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also includes purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-based costume for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special weapons Survey Corps vehicle Latest Free Story Addition This release also introduces the game's third free story episode, titled "The Enigma." This lighthearted mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap signature skills: Naoe reveals a dramatic interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Earlier Japanese Animation Collaborations This signifies scarcely the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with well-known anime series. The series formerly showcased a 2020 crossover story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that clearly nodded to the famous series One-Punch Man.
