🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Introduces Surprising Attack on Titan Crossover for Holiday Season In a unexpected partnership that defies conventional predictions, Ubisoft has unveiled an digital collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Questline Disclosed According to the authorized statement, "A strange confrontation leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh mission, where whispers of prohibited practices and terrifying transformations resonate through the darkness." The plot presents a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a hidden cult. The mission focuses on "strange tests and a monstrous adversary" and is open to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Familiar Settings and Transformations The teaser features the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser concludes with a striking sequence showing a character, probably the captive, changing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Prizes and Additional Features Players who successfully complete the mission will acquire an unique katana alongside several items concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features premium Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-themed attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Unique weapons Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Update This release also introduces the game's latest free story episode, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade characteristic abilities: Naoe debuts a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Past Anime Collaborations This signifies scarcely the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with popular anime properties. The series previously included a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla unofficially contained a quest that unmistakably referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
