🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Bizarre AoT Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a surprising collaboration that defies usual expectations, the game developer has unveiled an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary extra story content for Shadows players. Strange Questline Revealed According to the formal release, "A mysterious encounter leads characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where whispers of banned practices and monstrous transformations echo through the darkness." The narrative presents a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a clandestine cult. The adventure focuses on "bizarre trials and a monstrous adversary" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Transformations The trailer features the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer finishes with a powerful sequence showing a character, probably the prisoner, transforming into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Prizes and Extra Features Players who accomplish the adventure will obtain an exclusive katana in addition to several artifacts concealed throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-based attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Special weapons Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Content This release also brings the game's latest no-cost story episode, titled "The Mystery." This playful adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic skills: Naoe introduces a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also includes a new environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Crossovers This represents hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with popular anime series. The series formerly featured a 2020 crossover story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that obviously echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
