🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Unexpected AoT Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a surprising collaboration that defies conventional predictions, Ubisoft has unveiled an virtual crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary additional story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Questline Disclosed According to the authorized statement, "A strange encounter pulls heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where hints of prohibited rituals and fearsome transformations resonate through the darkness." The storyline introduces a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who charges the pair with venturing into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a secret sect. The questline focuses on "peculiar experiments and a monstrous adversary" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Recognizable Locations and Changes The preview features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through ages. The trailer concludes with a striking sequence showing a character, probably the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Prizes and Additional Material Players who successfully complete the adventure will receive an special katana alongside numerous artifacts hidden throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features premium Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Special arms Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Update This update also adds the game's newest free story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful quest pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature techniques: Naoe debuts a performative variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline.

The series earlier featured a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla informally included a quest that obviously nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
