New Attack On Titan Details And Screens Have Arrived

Attack on Titan may have not made a big splash over in the UK but it has a huge fan following over the States. If you have yet to see the show, here is a quick recap: Towering naked humans – conveniently missing any sexy dangly bits so your TV isn’t filled filled with giant wangs – roam the planet. The humans live behind a three walled city and for years the walls have kept the Titans out. A sudden attack by two new Titans destroy the walls and the monsters flood in and begin to do what the do best – eat live humans whilst smiling happily. It’s really quite disturbing.

To defend the city humans have developed 3D Maneuver Gear which turns them in to Spiderman.The gear can whip out tethers and swing the soldiers around round the city, and indeed round the towering Titans. A quick slash to the back of a Titan’s neck and he’s dead, attack them anywhere else and they regenerate.

The game will follow the plot of the 2013 Anime with the voice actors of Eren, Mikasa, and others returning for the game.

The game is coming to all the PlayStations, including Vita, in 2016. Here is the official blurb from Koei Tecmo,

(1) Tactical Hunting Action

In a cruel battlefield where the state of battle is constantly changing, the result of the player’s strategy has a direct connection to moving forward. In a game that offers high tactical freedom, the thrill of hunting action and fighting giant bosses are fused together to provide a new sense of battle never seen before in a video game. Depending on the tactical situation, you can proceed slowly and carefully or challenge the titan without warning. The player’s actions affect the direction of battle in a big way. This is hunting action in a new form.

(2) 3D Maneuverability and Body Part Destruction

Players can make full use of the 3D Maneuver Gear to zip freely around the sky and battle titans. By using type of action, you can rush quickly to companions in a pinch, and at times, it will attract the attention of enemies and they’ll run through the battlefield. In order to defeat a titan, it is necessary to attack its “nape.” To do this, you’ll need to attack from high altitudes and defeat titans by first destroying body parts like arms and legs, and then driving your blade into the titan’s nape. With this introduction of body part destruction, a higher level of strategic action is added to the game.

(3) Battlefield Drama Unfolds Across Vast Stages

Just like the original work, each character has a purpose and fights titans on a vast battlefield, and the state of battle rapidly changes according to this. Additionally, there will be changes within the city, such as walls and roofs collapsing as a result of battle, and it may affect the range of action players can take. The state of battle is constantly changing and the feeling of tension is high. A large number of scenarios that place the spotlight on popular characters are being prepared to develop the game’s dramatic story. It should appeal strongly to fans of the original work.

(4) Relive the Epic Story With High-End Graphics

In this game, players will relive the deep story of the Attack on Titan anime. Characters such as Eren, Mikasa, and so on that were key to the original story will appear, of course, and their voice actors are the same as they were in the anime. Additionally, the “Physics Toon Shader,” the game’s newly developed graphical representation, offers original graphics with the theme of “fusing the anime world and game world.” As a result, you can play the game feeling like you’re freely controlling a character in the anime.

The first season on Attack on Titan is available in the UK on Netflix, it’s a great watch assuming you can put up with many scenes where characters have an internal monologue about how useless they are.

    Very interested about the game now.

    • After hearing about this, I pushed it straight to the top of my watch list this week, and crashed through the entire thing over the last couple of days…
