🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Unexpected AoT Collaboration for Thanksgiving In a surprising collaboration that challenges usual predictions, the game developer has revealed an in-game crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, providing free additional story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Adventure Uncovered According to the formal release, "A strange meeting leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new mission, where whispers of forbidden ceremonies and monstrous changes reverberate through the darkness." The storyline introduces a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with venturing into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a secret sect. The mission focuses on "peculiar tests and a fearsome foe" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Metamorphoses The preview highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview concludes with a striking sequence showing a character, probably the captive, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Items and Extra Material Players who finish the mission will acquire an unique katana in addition to multiple items secreted throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Unique weapons Survey Corps steed Newest Free Story Content This update also brings the game's latest free story content, titled "A Puzzlement." This playful quest pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they swap distinctive abilities: Naoe reveals a dramatic variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline.

The series formerly featured a 2020 crossover story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla unofficially included a quest that clearly nodded to the popular series One-Punch Man.
