Update [Tue 25th Nov 2025, 3pm]: It’s time for another big Assassin’s Creed Shadows update, with patch 1.1.6 now available to download on PS5 at around 4GB.
The update implements not one, but two free quests. The first is — somehow — an Attack on Titan crossover, in which Naoe and Yasuke investigate an impending titan-sized threat.
There are a couple of downsides to this quest, however. For starters, it’s only going to stick around until the 22nd December (presumably due to licensing agreements), and on top of that, the cool Attack on Titan-themed armour from this article’s image is actually from a paid DLC pack. Boo!
Ubisoft’s pulled this one before, with Shadows’ previous Dead by Daylight crossover. There are cosmetic rewards up for grabs through the free quest — and you can nab a crystal katana for Naoe — but it feels like the best stuff is once again locked behind a paywall.
Meanwhile, the second free quest — titled ‘A Puzzlement’ — sees the game’s two protagonists solve a comical dispute. Both characters will learn new techniques upon completion (as per the patch notes):
- Naoe will learn how to perform her own spectacular version of Yasuke’s war kick ability.
- Yasuke will learn how to stealthily dispatch enemies in a non-lethal way.
This is the last update on Ubisoft’s ‘Fall Roadmap’ for Shadows, but we assume that support will continue for at least a little while yet.
Original Story: Well, we’re not sure anyone saw this crossover coming.
Just confirmed by Ubisoft, Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ next collaboration will be with… Attack on Titan.
The super popular manga and anime property will be featured in a new quest, which seems to task Naoe and Yasuke with stopping a titan transformation. No, we’re not making this up.
All we’ve got to go on right now is the above teaser trailer, but the quest itself goes live on the 25th November. That’s tomorrow at the time of writing.
However, it’s also worth noting that this is a limited time deal. The quest will only be available until the 15th December, 2025.
What’s more, the cool Attack on Titan-themed equipment seen in the promotional material actually seems to be part of a paid DLC pack that accompanies the update — which is rather disappointing.
What the heck do you make of this one? Aim for the back of the neck in the comments section below.
