Assassin's Creed Shadows x Attack on Titan Event Now Live With Free Quest
/
Ubisoft has released a new in-game event for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, this time crossing over with the Attack on Titan anime series. The limited-time quest runs from November 25 to December 22 and is free for all players. Completing it rewards you with a set of Titan-themed cosmetics.
Of all the franchises Ubisoft could pair with Assassin’s Creed, Attack on Titan wasn’t one I saw coming, yet here we are.
Here’s a quick rundown of what the event includes.
A strange encounter draws Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where whispers of forbidden rituals and monstrous transformations echo through the shadows. Guided by a strangely garbed woman named Ada, they venture deep into the enigmatic Crystal Cave to rescue her friend from a mysterious cult. As strange experiments unfold and a monstrous enemy emerges, the duo must rely on their instincts to survive a threat unlike any they’ve faced before. All players who have unlocked Yasuke as a playable character can access this event for free, by heading north-east of Yamashiro where they will be able to find the Quest Giver.
Finishing the quest rewards players with a new katana and various items hidden across the new cave area. The in-game store also adds Attack on Titan cosmetics: a Mikasa-inspired outfit for Naoe, a Titan-themed outfit for Yasuke, themed weapons, and a Survey Corps mount.
The quest is reportedly short, with players saying it takes roughly 15 minutes to complete.

This update also includes a new story mission titled A Puzzlement. In this quest, Naoe and Yasuke teach each other their signature abilities—Naoe learns her own version of Yasuke’s war kick, while Yasuke picks up non-lethal stealth takedowns. The mission also features an environmental puzzle that should appeal to players who follow the game’s deeper lore.
