🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Bizarre AoT Collaboration for Holiday Season In a bizarre collaboration that challenges traditional predictions, the game developer has unveiled an virtual crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, providing free additional story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Adventure Revealed According to the authorized statement, "A strange encounter pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where whispers of prohibited practices and terrifying changes echo through the shadows." The plot features a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who assigns the pair with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a secret sect. The mission centers on "strange experiments and a monstrous enemy" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Iconic Locations and Metamorphoses The preview features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer ends with a striking sequence showing a character, likely the hostage, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Extra Features Players who successfully complete the quest will obtain an exclusive katana alongside multiple artifacts concealed throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Special weapons Survey Corps mount Third Free Story Content This release also brings the game's newest free story content, titled "The Enigma." This lighthearted adventure partners Naoe and Yasuke as they trade characteristic techniques: Naoe reveals a performative interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-fatal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also includes a new environmental puzzle that may ultimately explain some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Collaborations This signifies scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime franchises. The series earlier showcased a 2020 crossover story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that clearly referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
