🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Bizarre AoT Crossover for Holiday Season In a surprising partnership that challenges usual expectations, the game developer has announced an virtual crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, providing complimentary additional story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Adventure Uncovered According to the official release, "A strange encounter leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where hints of forbidden ceremonies and terrifying transformations resonate through the obscurity." The storyline introduces a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who charges the characters with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a clandestine group. The adventure concentrates on "bizarre trials and a monstrous enemy" and is open to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Familiar Locations and Changes The trailer showcases the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview ends with a striking sequence showing a character, presumably the prisoner, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Prizes and Bonus Content Players who accomplish the mission will obtain an unique katana alongside several artifacts concealed throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired outfit for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Unique weapons Survey Corps steed Third Free Story Addition This release also brings the game's newest complimentary story addition, titled "The Mystery." This lighthearted adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive abilities: Naoe debuts a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may finally explain some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Collaborations This signifies not the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime franchises. The series earlier included a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly included a quest that obviously echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
