Assassin's Creed Reveals Bizarre Attack on Titan Crossover for Thanksgiving
In a unexpected collaboration that defies traditional forecasts, Ubisoft has revealed an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players.
Mysterious Mission Uncovered
According to the official announcement, "A mysterious encounter pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh mission, where rumors of prohibited rituals and monstrous changes echo through the shadows." The plot introduces a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a clandestine group.
The mission focuses on "strange experiments and a terrifying adversary" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.
Iconic Settings and Changes
The trailer features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The teaser finishes with a striking sequence showing a character, presumably the prisoner, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke.
Special Prizes and Extra Features
Players who accomplish the quest will receive an special katana alongside several objects hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering:
- Titan-inspired outfit for Yasuke
- Mikasa costume for Naoe
- Unique weapons
- Survey Corps steed
Latest Free Story Content
This release also introduces the game's latest complimentary story content, titled "The Enigma." This humorous mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange distinctive abilities: Naoe introduces a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-fatal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some lingering questions from the main storyline.
Past Japanese Animation Partnerships
This signifies scarcely the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime franchises. The series previously featured a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that obviously referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
