The unexpected holiday event continues from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost bonus story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Adventure Revealed According to the formal release, "An unusual encounter pulls characters Naoe and Yasuke into a original quest, where hints of prohibited ceremonies and monstrous transformations reverberate through the shadows." The narrative presents a "unusually dressed woman named Ada" who assigns the characters with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her friend from a clandestine sect. The questline concentrates on "bizarre tests and a terrifying enemy" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Iconic Locations and Transformations The trailer highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This important location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through eras.
