The unusual Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, including no-cost extra story content for Shadows players. Strange Questline Revealed According to the authorized statement, "A mysterious encounter leads heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new quest, where whispers of banned practices and fearsome metamorphoses echo through the darkness." The plot presents a "strangely attired woman named Ada" who charges the characters with venturing into the Crystalline Cavern—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a hidden group. The adventure centers on "peculiar trials and a fearsome adversary" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character. Recognizable Settings and Metamorphoses The trailer highlights the Underground Chapel from Attack on Titan recreated as the Crystal Cave. This significant location was previously where the Reiss royal family transmitted the Founding Titan ability through ages. The trailer finishes with a dramatic moment showing a character, presumably the prisoner, morphing into a Titan that rises over Naoe and Yasuke. Special Items and Bonus Content Players who finish the mission will obtain an exclusive katana alongside numerous artifacts concealed throughout the area in concealed chests.

Moreover, Valhalla informally included a quest that clearly referenced the popular series One-Punch Man.
