🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Introduces Surprising AoT Collaboration for Holiday Season In a bizarre collaboration that challenges traditional expectations, Ubisoft has unveiled an in-game crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, including free bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Adventure Revealed According to the formal release, "A mysterious confrontation leads characters Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh mission, where whispers of forbidden practices and fearsome transformations echo through the obscurity." The plot presents a "unusually attired woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with traveling into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her friend from a clandestine cult. The mission concentrates on "peculiar trials and a monstrous enemy" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Recognizable Places and Changes The teaser highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The teaser concludes with a powerful sequence showing a character, likely the hostage, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Prizes and Extra Material Players who successfully complete the adventure will receive an exclusive katana together with several objects hidden throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-inspired outfit for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Exclusive weapons Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Content This release also introduces the game's latest free story content, titled "The Mystery." This playful quest teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap signature techniques: Naoe reveals a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Enigma" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline. Earlier Japanese Animation Collaborations This marks not the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with popular anime franchises. The series formerly showcased a 2020 collaborative story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla informally included a quest that unmistakably nodded to the famous series One-Punch Man.
