The unusual holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Mission Revealed According to the official announcement, "An unusual confrontation pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where rumors of banned ceremonies and terrifying metamorphoses reverberate through the obscurity." The plot features a "strangely dressed woman named Ada" who charges the duo with traveling into the Crystalline Cavern—a important location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her friend from a secret cult. The mission focuses on "bizarre trials and a monstrous foe" and is open to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.

This historic location was earlier where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through eras.

The series earlier showcased a 2020 collaborative story connecting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla unofficially contained a quest that unmistakably referenced the famous series One-Punch Man.
