AC Shadows Reveals Bizarre Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving

In a unexpected collaboration that challenges traditional predictions, the game developer has announced an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost extra story content for Shadows players.

Peculiar Questline Disclosed

According to the official announcement, "A mysterious confrontation leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where whispers of banned practices and fearsome metamorphoses resonate through the shadows." The narrative presents a "strangely garbed woman named Ada" who charges the characters with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a hidden group.

The questline concentrates on "bizarre experiments and a monstrous enemy" and is open to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.

Recognizable Places and Metamorphoses

The teaser features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer finishes with a dramatic sequence showing a character, presumably the captive, transforming into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke.

Exclusive Prizes and Bonus Features

Players who finish the mission will acquire an special katana in addition to numerous objects concealed throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering:

• Titan-themed costume for Yasuke
• Mikasa costume for Naoe
• Special weapons
• Survey Corps mount

Third Free Story Content

This patch also brings the game's newest complimentary story episode, titled "The Enigma." This lighthearted adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive abilities: Naoe introduces a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline.

Previous Anime Partnerships

This marks scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime series. The series previously featured a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla informally included a quest that unmistakably nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
