🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Surprising Attack on Titan Collaboration for Holiday Season In a surprising collaboration that challenges conventional forecasts, the game developer has revealed an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary additional story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Disclosed According to the official release, "An unusual confrontation leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where hints of banned ceremonies and monstrous metamorphoses resonate through the obscurity." The plot presents a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who charges the duo with traveling into the Crystal Cave—a important location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a clandestine group. The mission centers on "strange tests and a fearsome enemy" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Familiar Settings and Metamorphoses The trailer features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview finishes with a powerful scene showing a character, likely the hostage, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Rewards and Extra Features Players who accomplish the quest will acquire an special katana alongside several items hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-based attire for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special weapons Survey Corps steed Third Free Story Content This update also adds the game's third no-cost story content, titled "A Puzzlement." This humorous mission partners Naoe and Yasuke as they trade signature techniques: Naoe debuts a performative interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. Faithful to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a new environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Previous Anime Collaborations This marks hardly the initial time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with popular anime series. The series earlier featured a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially contained a quest that unmistakably referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
