Attack on Titan 3 Release Date Announced as December 10, 2026
Koei Tecmo has announced the release date for the next game in one of the anime world's most beloved series, Attack on Titan. A new trailer released by the company on August 3, 2026 confirms that Attack on Titan 3 will meet players on December 10, 2026. The title will launch on the same day on PS5, Nintendo's next-generation console Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
The trailer features scenes from the story mode and glimpses of gameplay. According to Anime News Network, the video focuses on in-game renditions of well-known scenes from the manga and anime. The struggle against the giant Titans, the use of the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, and the series' character-driven narrative stand out as key highlights. The point from which Eren, Mikasa, and Armin's journey will be adapted remains the biggest question among fans.
Koei Tecmo has a long history with Attack on Titan games. The first game, developed by Japanese studio Omega Force, was released in 2016, and the second in 2018. The Final Battle expansion in 2019 brought the events of the third season into the game, pushing the story further. Therefore, there is a strong expectation that the third main game will focus on the final season and even events near the manga's conclusion.
To understand the interest behind the series, one need only look at the manga's history. Hajime Isayama's manga, which began in 2009 in Kodansha's Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine, completed its 34-volume journey in 2021 and has sold over 140 million copies worldwide. The anime adaptation, which began in 2013, was produced by Wit Studio for the first three seasons and MAPPA for the final season, ending in 2023. Such a massive fan base naturally turns every game announcement into a trending topic.
Whether Attack on Titan 3 will be the title that completes the series' finale in the gaming world remains unclear for now. Koei Tecmo's promotional period leading up to December 10 will clarify both the scope of the story mode and the gameplay innovations. For fans, the biggest question is how faithfully Eren's story and the manga's impactful finale will be adapted into this game; we will all see the answer in the coming months.
