🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Unexpected Attack on Titan Crossover for Holiday Season In a unexpected collaboration that breaks traditional forecasts, the game developer has unveiled an in-game crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, providing free bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Mission Revealed According to the official statement, "An unusual meeting leads characters Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where hints of forbidden ceremonies and fearsome transformations resonate through the shadows." The plot features a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with venturing into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a clandestine cult. The adventure centers on "strange tests and a terrifying adversary" and is available to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Recognizable Places and Changes The teaser features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer ends with a dramatic sequence showing a character, likely the hostage, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Items and Additional Material Players who successfully complete the quest will obtain an special katana alongside multiple objects secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Special implements Survey Corps mount Latest Free Story Content This patch also introduces the game's latest no-cost story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful adventure partners Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature skills: Naoe debuts a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a original environmental puzzle that may finally explain some lingering questions from the main storyline. Previous Japanese Animation Crossovers This marks hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime franchises. The series formerly showcased a 2020 crossover story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla informally contained a quest that obviously nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
