🔗 Share this article AC Shadows Introduces Unexpected AoT Crossover for Thanksgiving In a bizarre partnership that challenges traditional predictions, the game developer has unveiled an in-game collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering no-cost extra story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Adventure Uncovered According to the authorized statement, "An unusual encounter draws protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where hints of forbidden ceremonies and terrifying transformations resonate through the obscurity." The narrative introduces a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with traveling into the Crystal Cave—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a hidden cult. The mission centers on "peculiar experiments and a fearsome adversary" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Recognizable Locations and Changes The teaser highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser finishes with a dramatic sequence showing a character, likely the prisoner, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Prizes and Extra Content Players who finish the quest will obtain an exclusive katana in addition to several artifacts secreted throughout the area in hidden chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-inspired costume for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Exclusive weapons Survey Corps mount Latest Free Story Update This patch also brings the game's newest complimentary story addition, titled "A Puzzlement."

Furthermore, Valhalla unofficially contained a quest that clearly nodded to the popular series One-Punch Man.
