The surprising Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, providing complimentary extra story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Adventure Uncovered According to the official release, "A strange encounter leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where whispers of prohibited ceremonies and terrifying changes echo through the obscurity." The plot features a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with journeying into the Crystal Cave—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a clandestine group. The questline focuses on "peculiar tests and a monstrous foe" and is open to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Familiar Locations and Changes The preview highlights the Hidden Temple from Attack on Titan redesigned as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through generations. The preview concludes with a powerful moment showing a character, presumably the captive, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Rewards and Bonus Material Players who finish the adventure will acquire an unique katana alongside several artifacts hidden throughout the area in concealed chests. The update also includes in-store Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-based outfit for Yasuke Mikasa costume for Naoe Special arms Survey Corps steed Newest Free Story Update This update also adds the game's newest complimentary story episode, titled "The Enigma." This humorous adventure teams Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature techniques: Naoe debuts a performative variation of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke acquires non-fatal stealth takedowns. True to its name, "A Puzzlement" also includes a fresh environmental puzzle that may eventually clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline. Earlier Anime Collaborations This signifies hardly the first time the Assassin's Creed franchise has crossed over with famous anime franchises. The series formerly showcased a 2020 cross-promotional story linking Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla unofficially featured a quest that unmistakably echoed the well-known series One-Punch Man.
