🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Bizarre Attack on Titan Collaboration for Holiday Season In a unexpected partnership that breaks traditional expectations, the game developer has revealed an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, offering free additional story content for Shadows players. Strange Questline Uncovered According to the official announcement, "A mysterious meeting leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where hints of prohibited practices and fearsome metamorphoses reverberate through the obscurity." The plot presents a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a hidden group. The adventure focuses on "strange experiments and a monstrous enemy" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Iconic Places and Changes The trailer highlights the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview concludes with a striking moment showing a character, likely the captive, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Rewards and Additional Material Players who finish the quest will receive an unique katana alongside several objects concealed throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also includes premium Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Unique arms Survey Corps mount Latest Free Story Content This patch also brings the game's latest no-cost story addition, titled "The Enigma." This playful quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap signature abilities: Naoe introduces a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a fresh environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline. Past Anime Partnerships This marks hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime franchises. The series formerly included a 2020 collaborative story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla unofficially included a quest that obviously nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
