Assassin’s Creed Shadows just blasted its way back into the gaming spotlight with an update that feels straight out of a headline-grabbing emergency broadcast. Title Update 1.1.6 drops a surprise Attack on Titan crossover that nobody saw coming, packing in a special mission, exclusive cosmetics, and fresh story content. Feudal Japan suddenly feels like it’s been ripped open by the AoT universe, and players are calling it the most chaotic and electrifying crossover the Assassin’s Creed series has ever attempted. The excitement across the community is on another level.
The Attack on Titan Event Everyone’s Talking About
Assassin’s Creed Shadows now features a full, free Attack on Titan questline available only between November 25 and December 22, 2025. Players dive into a disturbing new mission set inside the Crystal Cave, where a mysterious cult has captured a supposed Titan-Shifter. The atmosphere is eerie, intense, and feels ripped straight from an anime nightmare.
To start the event, players must have Yasuke unlocked, then travel to northeast Yamashiro near Hanazo Tower and speak with an enigmatic visitor named Ada. From there, the mission throws you into classic AoT-style tension, ending with an exclusive reward: Naoe’s crystal katana, forged from the cave’s strange materials.
Throughout the quest, players can also earn AoT-themed hideout items like banners and statues that add a dramatic flair to any base.
Attack on Titan Cosmetics Drop
Alongside the quest, Ubisoft rolled out a premium Attack on Titan Dual Pack. Yasuke gets Titan-inspired armor, while Naoe receives a sleek Mikasa-style Survey Corps look. The pack includes themed weapons, trinkets, and even a special mount to complete the transformation. The best part: none of these cosmetics are required to enjoy the free mission.
New Story Quest and Gameplay Changes
Title Update 1.1.6 isn’t just about the Attack on Titan event. It also introduces a new story chapter called “A Puzzlement.” In this mission, Yasuke and Naoe swap signature abilities, Naoe learns Yasuke’s devastating war kick, while Yasuke gains a stealth-focused, non-lethal takedown option. There’s also a new environmental puzzle mechanic that adds fresh gameplay variety.
The patch additionally delivers multiple bug fixes and balance improvements, sharpening overall gameplay performance.

- It’s a limited-time, free event. Miss it now, it’s gone forever.
- It merges Assassin’s Creed’s stealth-action identity with AoT’s high-intensity world.
