🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Unexpected Attack on Titan Crossover for Holiday Season In a unexpected collaboration that breaks traditional predictions, the game developer has unveiled an in-game partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost extra story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Questline Revealed According to the official release, "An unusual meeting leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where rumors of prohibited ceremonies and monstrous transformations resonate through the darkness." The narrative introduces a "strangely garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the pair with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a hidden sect. The adventure concentrates on "bizarre experiments and a terrifying foe" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Recognizable Places and Metamorphoses The teaser highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser finishes with a powerful scene showing a character, presumably the captive, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Extra Material Players who successfully complete the mission will obtain an unique katana in addition to numerous items secreted throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-themed costume for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Exclusive weapons Survey Corps mount Third Free Story Content This update also brings the game's latest complimentary story addition, titled "The Mystery." This lighthearted quest teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic techniques: Naoe introduces a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Past Anime Crossovers This represents hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime properties. The series formerly showcased a 2020 crossover story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly included a quest that unmistakably nodded to the famous series One-Punch Man.
