AC Shadows Unveils Surprising Attack on Titan Event for Thanksgiving
In a bizarre partnership that breaks conventional expectations, Ubisoft has unveiled an digital partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the renowned anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising Thanksgiving event runs from November 25 through December 22, including complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players.
Peculiar Questline Uncovered
According to the official release, "A mysterious confrontation pulls heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where rumors of prohibited ceremonies and monstrous changes echo through the darkness." The narrative introduces a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with venturing into the Gemstone Grotto—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a clandestine sect.
The adventure concentrates on "bizarre tests and a terrifying enemy" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.
Iconic Settings and Metamorphoses
The teaser highlights the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The preview concludes with a dramatic moment showing a character, presumably the captive, morphing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke.
Unique Items and Extra Material
Players who finish the adventure will acquire an unique katana alongside numerous artifacts concealed throughout the area in secret chests. The update also features purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, offering:
- Titan-based outfit for Yasuke
- Mikasa attire for Naoe
- Unique arms
- Survey Corps mount
Newest Free Story Update
This update also introduces the game's latest no-cost story episode, titled "The Enigma." This playful mission pairs Naoe and Yasuke as they trade distinctive techniques: Naoe reveals a dramatic interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke learns non-lethal stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also features a original environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline.
Earlier Anime Crossovers
This signifies hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with well-known anime series. The series earlier featured a 2020 crossover story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla informally included a quest that obviously referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
