🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Introduces Unexpected Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving In a surprising crossover event that breaks conventional predictions, the game developer has revealed an virtual crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, providing no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Adventure Uncovered According to the formal release, "A strange confrontation pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where whispers of banned rituals and fearsome transformations reverberate through the obscurity." The plot features a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a clandestine group. The questline centers on "bizarre tests and a monstrous foe" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Iconic Places and Metamorphoses The preview highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer ends with a powerful sequence showing a character, probably the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Prizes and Bonus Content Players who finish the quest will acquire an unique katana alongside multiple items secreted throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-based attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Exclusive weapons Survey Corps mount Latest Free Story Update This patch also brings the game's third no-cost story episode, titled "The Mystery." This playful quest teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic skills: Naoe introduces a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Crossovers This represents scarcely the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime franchises. The series previously featured a 2020 crossover story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla unofficially included a quest that obviously referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
