About this game
The last Attack on Titan game - Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle - came out in 2019. Seven years is a long time in gaming, and even longer when you consider that the anime itself concluded in the years that followed, leaving behind one of the most divisive endings in anime history and a whole final act that never got a proper video game treatment. Well, that changes now. Koei Tecmo and Omega Force revealed Attack on Titan 3 at Summer Game Fest 2026, and the scope of what they're attempting is genuinely ambitious. I'll be honest - I had a complicated relationship with the first two games. The original 2016 entry was rough around the edges but captured something genuinely special with the omni-directional mobility gear. Swooping through the air, targeting nape after nape, the sheer momentum of it felt thrilling in a way that matched the anime's kinetic energy better than I expected. Attack on Titan 2 refined everything meaningfully and added co-op, which made the whole experience significantly better. But both games only covered up to season two of the anime, which always felt like stopping the story at its midpoint. The actual meat of Attack on Titan - the Marley arc, the War Hammer Titan, the Rumbling, the devastating finale - never got a game. Until now. Attack on Titan 3 isn't just picking up where the second game left off. According to Koei Tecmo, this is the entire saga from beginning to end - Survey Corps origins through to the dramatic conclusion - presented as a single complete game. The trailer shown at Summer Game Fest already confirmed scenes from the anime's later seasons: Levi's brutal fight against the Beast Titan in the woods, the battle for the War Hammer Titan in Marley, and footage from the Rumbling itself, which is possibly the most visually spectacular sequence the whole series ever produced. Fitting that into a game and doing it justice is a serious undertaking. Combat is returning to the omni-directional mobility gear system that defined the previous entries, though Koei Tecmo are promising meaningful upgrades - more acrobatic movement, more intense fights, and the ability to face off against the Nine Titans for the first time in the series. That last point is significant. The Nine Titans - the Founding, the Colossus, the Armored, the War Hammer, and the rest - are the defining confrontations of the later story, and building combat specifically around those encounters opens up a lot of interesting design possibilities that the earlier games simply couldn't touch. Brand-new story content and expanded lore are also confirmed, which suggests this isn't purely a straight adaptation but something that fills in gaps or adds context around the known events. Given how dense the mythology of Attack on Titan gets in its final chapters, there's a lot of room to add meaningful material without contradicting the source. The game is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, with more details due during an official worldwide livestream on July 1, 2026, featuring Japanese voice actors Yui Ishikawa (Mikasa) and Shiori Mikami (Krista). The Steam page has reportedly listed a 2026 release window, though no exact date has been confirmed as of the announcement. It's worth noting this franchise last sold over 2.6 million units by 2021 - respectable numbers for an anime adaptation. With the full story now on the table, including the ending that sparked years of debate among fans, Attack on Titan 3 might be the most talked-about thing the series has produced since the manga wrapped. Playing through Eren's final choices as an active participant rather than a passive viewer is going to feel very different. Whether that's a good or bad different, I genuinely don't know yet. But I'm finding out.
