In a surprising partnership that defies traditional predictions, Ubisoft has announced an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the acclaimed anime series Attack on Titan. The surprising holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering free extra story content for Shadows players.

Peculiar Mission Revealed

According to the formal announcement, "A mysterious confrontation leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a original adventure, where hints of prohibited practices and monstrous changes reverberate through the obscurity." The plot introduces a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who assigns the pair with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a secret sect.

The mission centers on "bizarre experiments and a monstrous foe" and is open to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.

Iconic Locations and Transformations

The teaser features the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through ages. The trailer finishes with a powerful sequence showing a character, presumably the hostage, transforming into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke.

Exclusive Rewards and Extra Material

Players who finish the adventure will acquire an special katana together with numerous items secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, offering:

• Titan-themed attire for Yasuke
• Mikasa outfit for Naoe
• Special implements
• Survey Corps vehicle

Third Free Story Addition

This release also brings the game's newest complimentary story content, titled "The Mystery." This playful mission partners Naoe and Yasuke as they swap signature skills: Naoe debuts a theatrical variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "The Enigma" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline.

Past Anime Collaborations

This represents not the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has collaborated with famous anime properties. The series previously showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Additionally, Valhalla informally featured a quest that unmistakably referenced the well-known series One-Punch Man.
