🔗 Share this article Assassin's Creed Reveals Surprising AoT Event for Thanksgiving In a bizarre crossover event that defies conventional forecasts, the game developer has unveiled an virtual collaboration between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unexpected Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, including free extra story content for Shadows players. Strange Mission Uncovered According to the formal statement, "An unusual confrontation leads protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh mission, where rumors of banned ceremonies and fearsome changes echo through the darkness." The storyline features a "oddly dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the pair with journeying into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her ally from a clandestine sect. The adventure focuses on "strange tests and a monstrous enemy" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Changes The trailer highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview concludes with a dramatic moment showing a character, likely the captive, transforming into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Prizes and Extra Features Players who finish the mission will receive an unique katana together with numerous objects hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains in-store Attack on Titan item packs, including: Titan-based attire for Yasuke Mikasa outfit for Naoe Unique implements Survey Corps steed Latest Free Story Addition This update also introduces the game's latest no-cost story content, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted quest partners Naoe and Yasuke as they trade characteristic abilities: Naoe debuts a theatrical interpretation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also features a new environmental puzzle that may ultimately shed light on some lingering questions from the main storyline. Earlier Anime Partnerships This signifies hardly the primary time the Assassin's Creed franchise has partnered with popular anime franchises. The series formerly included a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla informally included a quest that obviously referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
