🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Bizarre Attack on Titan Event for Holiday Season In a bizarre crossover event that breaks usual expectations, the game developer has revealed an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, providing complimentary extra story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Questline Revealed According to the formal release, "A strange confrontation leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh mission, where rumors of forbidden rituals and terrifying metamorphoses echo through the darkness." The plot introduces a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who charges the duo with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a secret cult. The mission centers on "strange experiments and a fearsome adversary" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Recognizable Places and Transformations The teaser highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview finishes with a powerful moment showing a character, presumably the captive, changing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Items and Bonus Features Players who finish the mission will receive an unique katana in addition to several artifacts hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Exclusive arms Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Addition This release also brings the game's newest no-cost story episode, titled "The Mystery." This playful mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic techniques: Naoe reveals a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Crossovers This signifies hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime series. The series formerly included a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially contained a quest that obviously echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
