🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Unexpected AoT Event for Holiday Season In a surprising crossover event that breaks usual predictions, the game developer has announced an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, providing no-cost extra story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Questline Uncovered According to the formal release, "A mysterious confrontation pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where hints of prohibited practices and fearsome transformations echo through the obscurity." The storyline features a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who tasks the pair with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a secret cult. The questline centers on "bizarre trials and a fearsome adversary" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Recognizable Places and Metamorphoses The preview showcases the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The teaser ends with a dramatic moment showing a character, presumably the captive, transforming into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Rewards and Additional Features Players who finish the quest will acquire an unique katana in addition to numerous objects hidden throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-based attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Unique arms Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Addition This update also adds the game's third free story addition, titled "The Enigma." This humorous mission partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive techniques: Naoe introduces a theatrical version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Collaborations This marks hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime franchises. The series earlier showcased a 2020 collaborative story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that clearly nodded to the famous series One-Punch Man.
