🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Surprising Attack on Titan Crossover for Holiday Season In a unexpected partnership that challenges conventional expectations, Ubisoft has revealed an virtual collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Questline Disclosed According to the official announcement, "A mysterious confrontation leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where whispers of banned practices and monstrous transformations resonate through the obscurity." The narrative introduces a "unusually garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with traveling into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a clandestine sect. The mission centers on "bizarre trials and a terrifying adversary" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Familiar Settings and Metamorphoses The trailer showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview concludes with a powerful sequence showing a character, presumably the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Items and Bonus Features Players who accomplish the mission will receive an exclusive katana together with several items hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-themed costume for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special arms Survey Corps mount Latest Free Story Addition This update also brings the game's third no-cost story episode, titled "The Mystery."
