Assassin's Creed Reveals Bizarre Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving
In a unexpected collaboration that defies traditional expectations, the game developer has unveiled an in-game crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, including free extra story content for Shadows players.
Mysterious Mission Uncovered
According to the authorized release, "A mysterious meeting leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where hints of forbidden ceremonies and fearsome metamorphoses echo through the obscurity." The storyline introduces a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a clandestine sect.
The mission focuses on "peculiar experiments and a terrifying enemy" and is open to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.
Recognizable Places and Transformations
The trailer highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser finishes with a striking scene showing a character, probably the captive, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.
Unique Rewards and Extra Features
Players who accomplish the quest will obtain an special katana in addition to several objects concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including:
- Titan-based attire for Yasuke
- Mikasa outfit for Naoe
- Unique weapons
- Survey Corps mount
Latest Free Story Update
This release also introduces the game's third complimentary story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This humorous mission partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap signature skills: Naoe reveals a performative interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-lethal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also features a original environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline.
Past Anime Partnerships
This represents scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime series. The series earlier included a 2020 crossover story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that obviously echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
