In a unexpected partnership that defies conventional predictions, Ubisoft has revealed an virtual partnership between Assassin's Creed Shadows and the popular anime series Attack on Titan. The unusual holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, providing no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players.

Mysterious Adventure Revealed

According to the official release, "An unusual encounter pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where whispers of forbidden practices and monstrous metamorphoses resonate through the shadows." The plot introduces a "unusually garbed woman named Ada" who tasks the pair with journeying into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her ally from a secret cult.

The adventure concentrates on "strange tests and a terrifying foe" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.

Familiar Locations and Transformations

The preview highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family passed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The preview ends with a striking moment showing a character, likely the captive, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke.

Exclusive Prizes and Extra Features

Players who finish the adventure will acquire an exclusive katana alongside numerous objects concealed throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also contains purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, including:

• Titan-inspired outfit for Yasuke
• Mikasa outfit for Naoe
• Special arms
• Survey Corps mount

True to its name, "The Mystery" also features a original environmental puzzle that may finally shed light on some unresolved questions from the main storyline.
