The unexpected Thanksgiving event operates from November 25 through December 22, offering complimentary additional story content for Shadows players. Mysterious Questline Revealed According to the formal statement, "A mysterious encounter draws heroes Naoe and Yasuke into a new mission, where whispers of banned practices and terrifying transformations reverberate through the shadows." The plot presents a "strangely garbed woman named Ada" who charges the characters with venturing into the Gemstone Grotto—a significant location from Attack on Titan—to save her friend from a clandestine cult. The questline focuses on "peculiar tests and a monstrous enemy" and is accessible to all players who have acquired the Yasuke character.

This historic location was previously where the Reiss royal family handed down the Founding Titan ability through generations.
