🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Introduces Surprising Attack on Titan Collaboration for Holiday Season In a unexpected partnership that challenges traditional forecasts, Ubisoft has announced an digital collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Revealed According to the formal announcement, "A mysterious meeting draws characters Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where rumors of forbidden ceremonies and fearsome metamorphoses resonate through the shadows." The storyline introduces a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who tasks the pair with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a hidden cult. The questline concentrates on "strange tests and a fearsome foe" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Iconic Locations and Metamorphoses The trailer features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The preview finishes with a powerful moment showing a character, presumably the hostage, changing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Rewards and Additional Material Players who finish the quest will obtain an special katana together with numerous objects concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-themed attire for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Exclusive weapons Survey Corps mount Newest Free Story Content This patch also adds the game's latest no-cost story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful quest pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature abilities: Naoe reveals a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Mystery" also features a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some lingering questions from the main storyline. Past Anime Partnerships This marks scarcely the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime franchises. The series formerly showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla informally contained a quest that obviously echoed the famous series One-Punch Man.
