🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Unveils Unexpected AoT Event for Thanksgiving In a surprising partnership that defies conventional predictions, Ubisoft has unveiled an virtual collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Questline Revealed According to the formal statement, "An unusual confrontation leads characters Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where rumors of prohibited ceremonies and terrifying changes reverberate through the darkness." The narrative features a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who tasks the duo with traveling into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a secret group. The questline focuses on "bizarre tests and a monstrous enemy" and is accessible to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Metamorphoses The trailer highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This important location was formerly where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The trailer ends with a powerful sequence showing a character, presumably the hostage, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Extra Content Players who accomplish the adventure will receive an special katana together with several objects hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, offering: Titan-based costume for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Exclusive weapons Survey Corps mount Latest Free Story Addition This release also brings the game's third free story content, titled "The Enigma." This lighthearted adventure pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive abilities: Naoe introduces a dramatic variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a original environmental puzzle that may finally clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline. Past Japanese Animation Collaborations This signifies hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with famous anime franchises. The series formerly included a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla subtly included a quest that obviously echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
