The unusual Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering free extra story content for Shadows players. Strange Questline Uncovered According to the authorized release, "A strange confrontation pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new adventure, where rumors of banned ceremonies and monstrous changes echo through the shadows." The narrative introduces a "oddly garbed woman named Ada" who charges the pair with venturing into the Crystal Cave—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a hidden group. The questline centers on "bizarre tests and a terrifying adversary" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.
