🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Introduces Surprising AoT Crossover for Thanksgiving In a bizarre crossover event that defies traditional expectations, the game developer has announced an virtual crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost additional story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Adventure Revealed According to the official statement, "A mysterious encounter draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new mission, where rumors of banned rituals and monstrous metamorphoses echo through the darkness." The plot presents a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the characters with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her ally from a secret sect. The mission concentrates on "strange trials and a fearsome enemy" and is open to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Familiar Locations and Changes The trailer highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer concludes with a striking moment showing a character, probably the hostage, morphing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Extra Content Players who finish the mission will acquire an unique katana together with multiple objects hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-themed attire for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Special arms Survey Corps vehicle Third Free Story Content This release also adds the game's latest no-cost story episode, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they swap characteristic abilities: Naoe reveals a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline. Earlier Anime Crossovers This signifies hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with well-known anime franchises. The series formerly included a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially contained a quest that clearly echoed the famous series One-Punch Man.
