🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Reveals Unexpected AoT Event for Holiday Season In a bizarre crossover event that breaks traditional expectations, Ubisoft has unveiled an in-game crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players. Strange Mission Uncovered According to the formal statement, "An unusual confrontation draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where whispers of prohibited ceremonies and fearsome metamorphoses echo through the obscurity." The plot introduces a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who charges the duo with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a clandestine group. The questline concentrates on "strange experiments and a terrifying adversary" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Iconic Places and Metamorphoses The teaser highlights the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This important location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The preview ends with a striking scene showing a character, probably the hostage, transforming into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Prizes and Bonus Features Players who finish the adventure will receive an unique katana in addition to several items secreted throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired outfit for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Exclusive arms Survey Corps mount Latest Free Story Addition This release also introduces the game's latest no-cost story episode, titled "A Puzzlement." This humorous mission teams Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive skills: Naoe debuts a performative variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also features a original environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Earlier Japanese Animation Crossovers This marks not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime properties. The series previously featured a 2020 collaborative story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla subtly included a quest that unmistakably echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
