🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Bizarre Attack on Titan Collaboration for Holiday Season In a unexpected partnership that challenges conventional predictions, the game developer has announced an in-game collaboration 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 additional story content for Shadows players. Strange Questline Disclosed According to the formal announcement, "An unusual encounter leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where rumors of prohibited rituals and monstrous metamorphoses resonate through the obscurity." The plot presents a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a clandestine cult. The questline centers on "strange trials and a terrifying adversary" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Recognizable Locations and Metamorphoses The teaser features the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer ends with a striking scene showing a character, likely the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Rewards and Extra Material Players who successfully complete the adventure will receive an exclusive katana alongside multiple artifacts concealed throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-based outfit for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Exclusive arms Survey Corps mount Newest Free Story Addition This release also adds the game's newest complimentary story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic abilities: Naoe introduces a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-fatal 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 not the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with famous anime properties. The series earlier showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla unofficially included a quest that clearly nodded to the famous series One-Punch Man.
