🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Bizarre Attack on Titan Collaboration for Holiday Season In a bizarre partnership that defies traditional expectations, the game developer has unveiled an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, including free extra story content for Shadows players. Strange Questline Revealed According to the authorized statement, "A strange confrontation draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where rumors of banned ceremonies and monstrous changes echo through the shadows." The storyline introduces a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who charges the characters with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a hidden group. The questline concentrates on "peculiar experiments and a monstrous adversary" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Familiar Places and Changes The teaser highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview ends with a powerful scene showing a character, probably the hostage, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Items and Bonus Material Players who accomplish the mission will acquire an exclusive katana in addition to several artifacts concealed throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes premium Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Exclusive arms Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Update This release also adds the game's newest no-cost story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive abilities: Naoe introduces a performative variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Enigma" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some lingering questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Collaborations This represents scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime properties. The series formerly showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that unmistakably nodded to the popular series One-Punch Man.
