Assassin’s Creed Shadows x Attack on Titan Collaboration
Assassin’s Creed Shadows update 1.1.6 brings a major collaboration event with Attack on Titan. The highlight is a timed-exclusive quest named “Beyond the Walls,” set in the rugged Omi Province. Here, players join Naoe and Yasuke to combat a dangerous new faction, “the cultists‘ who are attempting to unleash a terrifying Titan upon Japan. This quest plunges you into a mysterious crystal cave inspired by the manga, featuring destructible environments that enhance both gameplay and atmosphere.

Rewards for completing “Beyond the Walls” include a visually stunning katana for Naoe. Also, a unique guard-breaking perk tied to posture attacks, alongside several collectible outfits, weapons, and banners themed on Attack on Titan’s rich lore. Adding to the authentic experience, the quest’s soundtrack is composed by the original composer from the Attack on Titan anime. However, Ubisoft used a tailor-made score due to licensing rights.
The collaboration is available until December 22, making it a must-play event before the content rotates out.
“A Puzzlement” Side Quest
This comedic mission features recurring side characters. Naoe and Yasuke train their friends, gaining new abilities: Spartan kicks, takedowns, and more. The quest promises lighter moments and deeper interactions, helping to develop the duo’s friendship.
The Isidor Puzzle
You can tackle the mysterious Isidor puzzle, which links to the “A Puzzlement” quest. Search for hidden ISU symbols throughout the map using clues from riddles and particle effects. The system is fully in-game, no external references needed, and finishing it may unlock exclusive lore and loot. You can expect a challenge that gives backstory and rewards to those who solve it.
Store Updates and Rewards
Extra cosmetic packs for Yasuke and Naoe will be available, featuring outfits, weapons, and mounts inspired by Attack on Titan. Moreover, all item packs remain even after the quest ends if unlocked in time.
