🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Introduces Unexpected AoT Event for Holiday Season In a unexpected crossover event that challenges conventional forecasts, the game developer has revealed an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, providing complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Adventure Revealed According to the formal release, "An unusual encounter draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh adventure, where rumors of forbidden practices and terrifying metamorphoses reverberate through the shadows." The storyline presents a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with venturing into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a secret group. The adventure focuses on "bizarre trials and a terrifying foe" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Familiar Settings and Metamorphoses The teaser showcases the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer ends with a powerful sequence showing a character, probably the hostage, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Prizes and Additional Material Players who accomplish the mission will obtain an exclusive katana alongside numerous artifacts hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-based outfit for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Special weapons Survey Corps vehicle Latest Free Story Addition This update also adds the game's latest no-cost story addition, titled "The Enigma." This humorous quest pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive techniques: Naoe reveals a dramatic interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Earlier Japanese Animation Collaborations This marks scarcely the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with popular anime franchises. The series earlier showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that obviously echoed the famous series One-Punch Man.
