Assassin's Creed Introduces Bizarre Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving
In a unexpected collaboration that defies traditional forecasts, Ubisoft has unveiled an digital collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost additional story content for Shadows players.
Peculiar Questline Revealed
According to the formal statement, "A mysterious encounter leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where rumors of forbidden practices and monstrous transformations reverberate through the obscurity." The storyline presents a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who tasks the pair with traveling into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a clandestine group.
The adventure centers on "peculiar trials and a fearsome adversary" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.
Recognizable Locations and Changes
The teaser features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser ends with a powerful moment showing a character, probably the hostage, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.
Unique Prizes and Extra Material
Players who finish the mission will receive an unique katana alongside numerous objects secreted throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also includes purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring:
- Titan-based costume for Yasuke
- Mikasa costume for Naoe
- Unique weapons
- Survey Corps mount
Latest Free Story Addition
This patch also introduces the game's newest complimentary story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic techniques: Naoe reveals a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline.
Previous Anime Partnerships
This signifies hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime series. The series earlier showcased a 2020 crossover story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that obviously referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
