Assassin's Creed Introduces Surprising Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving
In a surprising crossover event that challenges conventional forecasts, Ubisoft has announced an digital collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, providing free extra story content for Shadows players.
Peculiar Adventure Disclosed
According to the authorized announcement, "A strange encounter pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where rumors of forbidden rituals and monstrous changes resonate through the obscurity." The narrative features a "unusually garbed woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with traveling into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a clandestine sect.
The mission focuses on "peculiar tests and a terrifying foe" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.
Iconic Settings and Changes
The preview features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The teaser ends with a powerful sequence showing a character, probably the captive, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.
Unique Prizes and Additional Content
Players who accomplish the mission will obtain an unique katana alongside numerous objects secreted throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering:
- Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke
- Mikasa attire for Naoe
- Unique weapons
- Survey Corps steed
Latest Free Story Addition
This update also adds the game's third complimentary story content, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature skills: Naoe debuts a performative interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-fatal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline.
Previous Anime Partnerships
This signifies scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime properties. The series formerly showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that unmistakably referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
