🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Bizarre Attack on Titan Event for Holiday Season In a surprising crossover event that challenges traditional predictions, the game developer has unveiled an in-game crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering free additional story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Uncovered According to the formal statement, "A strange meeting leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where whispers of banned ceremonies and terrifying changes echo through the obscurity." The storyline introduces a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a secret group. The mission concentrates on "strange experiments and a monstrous adversary" and is open to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Metamorphoses The teaser showcases the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The trailer ends with a striking scene showing a character, presumably the hostage, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Rewards and Extra Features Players who finish the adventure will receive an exclusive katana together with multiple artifacts hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-based outfit for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special weapons Survey Corps vehicle Newest Free Story Update This release also adds the game's third free story addition, titled "The Enigma." This playful quest pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive abilities: Naoe debuts a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Crossovers This marks not the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime franchises. The series earlier showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla unofficially included a quest that clearly echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
