AC Shadows Unveils Bizarre Attack on Titan Collaboration for Thanksgiving
In a surprising collaboration that challenges usual predictions, Ubisoft has revealed an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost extra story content for Shadows players.
Strange Questline Uncovered
According to the formal statement, "A mysterious encounter draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh mission, where rumors of forbidden rituals and terrifying metamorphoses reverberate through the shadows." The narrative features a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a clandestine sect.
The adventure centers on "strange trials and a fearsome enemy" and is open to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.
Iconic Settings and Transformations
The trailer highlights the Underground Chapel 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 concludes with a powerful moment showing a character, probably the captive, transforming into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke.
Exclusive Rewards and Bonus Content
Players who accomplish the quest will receive an special katana in addition to numerous artifacts concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also includes premium Attack on Titan item packs, offering:
- Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke
- Mikasa outfit for Naoe
- Exclusive weapons
- Survey Corps mount
Latest Free Story Addition
This release also introduces the game's newest no-cost story addition, titled "The Mystery." This playful quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive techniques: Naoe debuts a dramatic interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-fatal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a new environmental puzzle that may ultimately shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline.
Earlier Japanese Animation Crossovers
This signifies hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime franchises. The series earlier showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially contained a quest that clearly nodded to the popular series One-Punch Man.
