🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Unexpected AoT Collaboration for Holiday Season In a bizarre partnership that breaks conventional forecasts, the game developer has announced an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event runs from November 25 through December 22, including free extra story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Adventure Revealed According to the formal release, "A mysterious meeting pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where hints of prohibited ceremonies and fearsome changes reverberate through the obscurity." The storyline features a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with traveling into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her ally from a clandestine group. The adventure focuses on "bizarre trials and a monstrous enemy" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Recognizable Places and Metamorphoses The teaser highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser finishes with a powerful scene showing a character, probably the hostage, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Additional Features Players who finish the quest will acquire an exclusive katana alongside several artifacts concealed throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-based costume for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Unique implements Survey Corps mount Latest Free Story Addition This patch also adds the game's latest free story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive techniques: Naoe reveals a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also features a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some unanswered questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Collaborations This signifies hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime series. The series formerly included a 2020 collaborative story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla subtly contained a quest that unmistakably nodded to the popular series One-Punch Man.
