In a surprising partnership that defies usual forecasts, Ubisoft has announced 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, offering no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players.

Mysterious Adventure Disclosed

According to the formal statement, "An unusual meeting leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original mission, where rumors of banned rituals and monstrous transformations resonate through the obscurity." The plot presents a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her ally from a clandestine sect.

The mission concentrates on "peculiar tests and a terrifying adversary" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.

Recognizable Locations and Metamorphoses

The teaser highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The trailer ends with a dramatic sequence showing a character, likely the captive, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.

Special Rewards and Extra Material

Players who finish the adventure will acquire an unique katana in addition to several artifacts concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, offering:

• Titan-based outfit for Yasuke
• Mikasa outfit for Naoe
• Unique arms
• Survey Corps steed

Third Free Story Content

This update also introduces the game's latest complimentary story content, titled "The Enigma." This lighthearted quest teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade characteristic techniques: Naoe debuts a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline.

Earlier Anime Collaborations

This signifies hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime series. The series previously showcased a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that unmistakably nodded to the well-known series One-Punch Man.
