🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Bizarre Attack on Titan Collaboration for Holiday Season In a bizarre collaboration that challenges usual predictions, the game developer has unveiled an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary extra story content for Shadows players. Strange Questline Disclosed According to the authorized release, "A mysterious encounter leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh adventure, where hints of forbidden rituals and fearsome metamorphoses reverberate through the shadows." The storyline presents a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who charges the pair with venturing into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a clandestine cult. The mission focuses on "strange trials and a monstrous enemy" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Iconic Locations and Transformations The trailer showcases the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The teaser concludes with a dramatic scene showing a character, likely the captive, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Rewards and Additional Features Players who finish the mission will obtain an unique katana together with several items concealed throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-based outfit for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Exclusive implements Survey Corps mount Newest Free Story Content This patch also adds the game's latest no-cost story content, titled "The Mystery." This playful adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive abilities: Naoe debuts a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-fatal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also features a fresh environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Earlier Anime Crossovers This marks hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime franchises. The series earlier featured a 2020 crossover story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla informally featured a quest that clearly nodded to the popular series One-Punch Man.
