AC Shadows Introduces Bizarre Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving
In a bizarre partnership that defies traditional forecasts, Ubisoft has revealed an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary extra story content for Shadows players.
Strange Mission Revealed
According to the formal announcement, "A mysterious confrontation leads characters Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where whispers of prohibited ceremonies and terrifying changes echo through the obscurity." The narrative presents a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a secret sect.
The mission concentrates on "bizarre experiments and a fearsome adversary" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.
Familiar Places and Metamorphoses
The trailer highlights the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The preview ends with a powerful sequence showing a character, likely the hostage, transforming into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke.
Exclusive Prizes and Extra Features
Players who finish the quest will acquire an exclusive katana alongside several objects concealed throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, offering:
- Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke
- Mikasa costume for Naoe
- Exclusive arms
- Survey Corps mount
Third Free Story Content
This release also introduces the game's newest complimentary story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap signature techniques: Naoe reveals a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also features a fresh environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline.
Earlier Anime Collaborations
This signifies hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with well-known anime properties. The series formerly showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla informally contained a quest that obviously nodded to the famous series One-Punch Man.
