In brief

Koei Tecmo unveils the gameplay of Attack on Titan 3 with a major revolution: the nine iconic Titans from the manga finally become playable and can be fought for the first time in the franchise. The trailer emphasizes smoother omnidirectional action and much less scripted Titans, capable of feints and unpredictable movements that force players to adapt their strategy in real time.

Koei Tecmo lifts the veil on the gameplay of Attack on Titan 3, and the main promise holds up from the very first seconds: the Titans make their first ever playable/battleable appearance in a game in the franchise. Until now, the video game saga had made do with generic Titans and a few shifter Titans already encountered in-game. Here, we're talking about the manga's major figures who had never had their video game treatment before.

The trailer mainly focuses on the evolution of the omnidirectional movement action. The Scouts fly through the air with more fluidity, and above all the Titans react in a less scripted way: we see arm movements, feints, changes in trajectory that force players to read the fight in real time rather than repeat a memorized pattern. Koei Tecmo also emphasizes a simplified control mode, clearly designed to welcome players who found previous entries too technical.

Compared to the gameplay reveals of Attack on Titan 2 and Final Battle, the visual leap and narrative ambition are clear: this third installment presents itself as a complete compilation of the story, from the beginning to the conclusion, with iconic scenes rebuilt and brand-new plot developments.

It remains to be seen how all this plays out in hand. Mark your calendar for December 10, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC (Steam) to find out.
