🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Introduces Surprising AoT Crossover for Thanksgiving In a surprising partnership that challenges traditional predictions, the game developer has unveiled an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary additional story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Questline Disclosed According to the official statement, "An unusual meeting pulls heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where whispers of prohibited practices and terrifying changes reverberate through the darkness." The narrative introduces a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with traveling into the Crystalline Cavern—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a secret sect. The questline focuses on "bizarre trials and a monstrous adversary" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Recognizable Places and Metamorphoses The trailer features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The trailer finishes with a powerful scene showing a character, probably the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Prizes and Additional Features Players who accomplish the quest will acquire an special katana together with multiple items hidden throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes premium Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Exclusive weapons Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Content This release also introduces the game's third complimentary story addition, titled "The Mystery." This lighthearted mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature techniques: Naoe reveals a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal 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 Crossovers This represents not the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with popular anime properties. The series formerly showcased a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that unmistakably echoed the famous series One-Punch Man.
