The unusual holiday event operates from November 25 through December 22, including free extra story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Adventure Disclosed According to the authorized announcement, "An unusual meeting draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where whispers of forbidden ceremonies and terrifying transformations echo through the darkness." The storyline features a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who assigns the duo with traveling into the Crystal Cave—a key location from Attack on Titan—to rescue her companion from a hidden cult. The mission centers on "bizarre tests and a fearsome foe" and is available to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Transformations The trailer highlights the Subterranean Sanctuary from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was earlier where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through ages. The trailer concludes with a striking sequence showing a character, probably the captive, changing into a Titan that towers over Naoe and Yasuke. Exclusive Rewards and Bonus Features Players who accomplish the mission will receive an unique katana alongside multiple artifacts concealed throughout the area in hidden chests.

Loyal to its name, "The Enigma" also includes a new environmental puzzle that may eventually shed light on some unanswered questions from the main storyline.

The series formerly showcased a 2020 crossover story uniting Assassin's Creed: Valhalla with Makoto Yukimura's Vinland Saga. Moreover, Valhalla informally contained a quest that unmistakably echoed the popular series One-Punch Man.
