The unusual Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, providing no-cost extra story content for Shadows players. Strange Adventure Disclosed According to the authorized release, "An unusual meeting leads characters Naoe and Yasuke into a fresh quest, where hints of forbidden practices and fearsome transformations resonate through the darkness." The narrative features a "strangely garbed woman named Ada" who charges the characters with venturing into the Crystalline Cavern—a key location from Attack on Titan—to save her companion from a hidden sect. The adventure focuses on "bizarre trials and a terrifying foe" and is open to all players who have unlocked the Yasuke character. Iconic Settings and Metamorphoses The preview features the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan reimagined as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was formerly where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through eras. The teaser ends with a powerful moment showing a character, probably the captive, changing into a Titan that looms over Naoe and Yasuke. Unique Prizes and Additional Content Players who finish the quest will obtain an special katana together with numerous objects secreted throughout the area in secret chests. The update also includes purchasable Attack on Titan item packs, featuring: Titan-based costume for Yasuke Mikasa attire for Naoe Special arms Survey Corps vehicle Latest Free Story Update This release also brings the game's latest free story episode, titled "A Puzzlement." This lighthearted adventure partners Naoe and Yasuke as they exchange signature skills: Naoe introduces a dramatic version of Yasuke's war kick, while Yasuke masters subduing stealth takedowns. Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also contains a fresh environmental puzzle that may ultimately clarify some lingering questions from the main storyline.

The series earlier included a 2020 cross-promotional story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Furthermore, Valhalla subtly featured a quest that clearly referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
