🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Unexpected Attack on Titan Event for Holiday Season In a surprising collaboration that breaks traditional expectations, Ubisoft has unveiled an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Adventure Revealed According to the official announcement, "A strange confrontation leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where hints of forbidden rituals and fearsome metamorphoses reverberate through the darkness." The narrative introduces a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who charges the characters with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a hidden sect. The adventure concentrates on "peculiar trials and a monstrous enemy" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Familiar Settings and Transformations The trailer features the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The preview concludes with a striking moment showing a character, presumably the hostage, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Extra Features Players who successfully complete the mission will receive an exclusive katana together with numerous artifacts hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also includes premium Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Special implements Survey Corps mount Newest Free Story Addition This release also adds the game's third no-cost story episode, titled "The Mystery." This playful mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive skills: Naoe reveals a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Enigma" also features a original environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline. Earlier Japanese Animation Collaborations This represents hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with popular anime properties. The series earlier featured a 2020 crossover story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that unmistakably referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
