Assassin's Creed Introduces Bizarre AoT Collaboration for Thanksgiving
In a unexpected crossover event that defies conventional expectations, Ubisoft has unveiled an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering no-cost extra story content for Shadows players.
Strange Adventure Revealed
According to the official release, "A strange confrontation draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where whispers of forbidden practices and fearsome transformations echo through the darkness." The narrative presents a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with venturing into the Crystalline Cavern—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a hidden sect.
The mission focuses on "bizarre trials and a terrifying adversary" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.
Familiar Settings and Transformations
The preview showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The teaser concludes with a striking moment showing a character, likely the hostage, changing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke.
Special Rewards and Additional Features
Players who successfully complete the mission will obtain an special katana together with several artifacts hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including:
- Titan-inspired attire for Yasuke
- Mikasa attire for Naoe
- Unique weapons
- Survey Corps steed
Newest Free Story Update
This patch also brings the game's newest complimentary story episode, titled "The Mystery." This playful quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive skills: Naoe introduces a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-fatal stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "The Mystery" also contains a new environmental puzzle that may ultimately shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline.
Past Anime Collaborations
This signifies scarcely the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with well-known anime series. The series formerly included a 2020 collaborative story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that obviously nodded to the popular series One-Punch Man.
