🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Unveils Surprising AoT Crossover for Holiday Season In a unexpected crossover event that breaks usual forecasts, the game developer has unveiled an digital crossover between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players. Strange Mission Disclosed According to the official statement, "A mysterious encounter leads characters Naoe and Yasuke into a new mission, where rumors of prohibited practices and fearsome transformations echo through the obscurity." The plot presents a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a hidden group. The adventure focuses on "strange trials and a monstrous enemy" and is open to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Iconic Locations and Changes The trailer showcases the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through ages. The teaser ends with a dramatic moment showing a character, likely the captive, transforming into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Prizes and Extra Material Players who successfully complete the adventure will acquire an special katana together with several items hidden throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Unique arms Survey Corps mount Third Free Story Content This release also adds the game's latest no-cost story addition, titled "A Puzzlement." This humorous quest teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature skills: Naoe reveals a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also contains a original environmental puzzle that may eventually explain some unresolved questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Collaborations This marks scarcely the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with famous anime franchises. The series formerly included a 2020 collaborative story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that obviously referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
