🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Unexpected Attack on Titan Collaboration for Holiday Season In a bizarre crossover event that breaks usual expectations, Ubisoft has announced an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players. Strange Mission Revealed According to the formal statement, "An unusual meeting draws characters Naoe and Yasuke into a new mission, where hints of banned practices and fearsome changes reverberate through the darkness." The narrative presents a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with traveling into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a hidden cult. The mission focuses on "strange tests and a monstrous foe" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Familiar Locations and Metamorphoses The preview showcases the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer concludes with a dramatic moment showing a character, probably the captive, changing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Additional Content Players who accomplish the quest will acquire an unique katana alongside numerous items concealed throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-themed costume for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special weapons Survey Corps steed Third Free Story Addition This update also brings the game's newest complimentary story episode, titled "The Mystery." This lighthearted adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic techniques: Naoe debuts a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Past Anime Collaborations This represents scarcely the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime franchises. The series formerly included a 2020 collaborative story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that unmistakably echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
