AC Shadows Unveils Unexpected Attack on Titan Crossover for Thanksgiving
In a unexpected partnership that defies conventional predictions, the game developer has announced an virtual collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary extra story content for Shadows players.
Mysterious Questline Uncovered
According to the formal statement, "An unusual encounter pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where hints of prohibited practices and terrifying changes reverberate through the obscurity." The narrative presents a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her companion from a hidden group.
The adventure concentrates on "bizarre trials and a monstrous enemy" and is accessible to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character.
Recognizable Locations and Metamorphoses
The trailer showcases the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through ages. The trailer concludes with a powerful scene showing a character, likely the prisoner, transforming into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke.
Special Prizes and Bonus Material
Players who successfully complete the adventure will acquire an unique katana alongside multiple artifacts concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains premium Attack on Titan item packs, featuring:
- Titan-themed attire for Yasuke
- Mikasa outfit for Naoe
- Special weapons
- Survey Corps steed
Newest Free Story Update
This release also introduces the game's newest complimentary story addition, titled "The Mystery." This lighthearted mission partners Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange characteristic skills: Naoe introduces a performative version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-lethal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Mystery" also features a original environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline.
Past Anime Crossovers
This signifies not the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with well-known anime franchises. The series formerly showcased a 2020 crossover story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla informally included a quest that unmistakably nodded to the famous series One-Punch Man.
