The unusual Thanksgiving event continues from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary bonus story content for Shadows players. Peculiar Questline Revealed According to the authorized release, "A strange encounter pulls protagonists Naoe and Yasuke into a new mission, where rumors of forbidden ceremonies and fearsome transformations resonate through the obscurity." The storyline features a "oddly attired woman named Ada" who charges the pair with venturing into the Gemstone Grotto—a key location from Attack on Titan—to liberate her friend from a hidden sect. The mission centers on "peculiar tests and a terrifying enemy" and is available to all players who have gained access to the Yasuke character.
