🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Unexpected AoT Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a surprising collaboration that challenges conventional predictions, the game developer has unveiled an digital collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, providing no-cost additional story content for Shadows players. Strange Adventure Disclosed According to the formal release, "An unusual confrontation leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where rumors of prohibited rituals and terrifying metamorphoses resonate through the shadows." The storyline introduces a "unusually garbed woman named Ada" who assigns the pair with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a clandestine sect. The adventure focuses on "peculiar tests and a monstrous foe" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.

This historic location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser finishes with a powerful scene showing a character, presumably the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Items and Bonus Material Players who accomplish the adventure will receive an special katana in addition to numerous items concealed throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-themed costume for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Unique weapons Survey Corps steed Third Free Story Content This update also brings the game's third no-cost story content, titled "The Enigma." This lighthearted mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange distinctive techniques: Naoe reveals a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some unresolved questions from the main storyline.

The series earlier showcased a 2020 crossover story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that unmistakably nodded to the famous series One-Punch Man.
