The latest issue of Attack On Titan’s manga reveals that Koei Tecmo are working on an Attack On Titan game for PlayStation and will release this winter. 進撃の巨人のコミックスの帯にコーエーテクモからゲーム出るって書いてあるけどやっぱ無双なのかな https://t.co/Bl4paE0hMw — 六甲 (@earlbox) August 4, 2015 While details are still light for the time being, the above is a look at the manga’s wraparound jacket that indicates that an Attack On Titan X Koei Tecmo game will release this winter. It doesn’t specify which PlayStation platform, or if it’ll be on more than one. This could perhaps have something to do with the new Omega Force title that Koei Tecmo have been teasing since last week, which will be revealed tomorrow.

Hope it won't be a Dynasty Warriors mindless game.

 

I'd like a AoT game with the passion of CC2s Naruto games.

 

I'd like a game that understands that there is a story beyond what currently exists in anime form. All we've gotten thus far is glorified titan killing, and that's not what the story is really all about. It's a part of it sure, but it's really not the primary focus.

Considering how big this already is in the west, it wouldnt be a surprise. Not to forget it's Koei, they localize quiet a lot of games.

 

Not a fan of Attack on Titan at all, but I do like Omega Force games, so most likely getting it. Still be better if Platinum Games had picked this up. Could imagine them doing a good job on it.

This could be interesting. Hope it's not rubbish though :/

Well... by being AoT it quite equals rubbish, though.

 

The interesting part is the text is both Japanese and English would could point to the fact It might hit Western areas around the same time as the Japan version

Isn't it planned for worldwide release, though?

It probably will. Every game Omega Force has released on PlayStation consoles with trophies has included a (P).

 

Warriors Orochi Z and the Vita version of One Piece Pirate Wariors 2 did not. But the teaser did kind of hint on a possible English version will be made. Plus it's Attack On Titan. It has a pretty large fanbase even outside of Japan.

With Platinum Games, I hope they're working on that Kill la Kill game the Metal Gear Rising Director would like to do.

Koei Tecmo revealed at Gamescom 2015 that their Warriors studio Omega Force is working on an Attack On Titanproject for PS4, PS3, and Vita. Producer Hisashi Koinuma recently spoke with Dengeki in an interview about the upcoming title.

 

 

  • The project started around the end of 2013 and in January, February of 2014.

 

  • It’ll have action elements that involve “cooperation with allies” and “sacrificing allies,” making it different than a hunting-style game.

 

  • It has opinions and feedback from series creator Hajime Isayama.

 

  • The game is being made to follow along the original story.

 

  • The Attack On Titan game is being made in a way where players will get to freely move around in the world. Rather than defeating an enemy and moving along in the story, the base is action game, but one that will allow you to understand the story in the midst of the action.

 

  • It will start out at the beginning of the Attack On Titan’s original story.

 

  • Koinuma started out with the planning on his own but things changed in April (after he was promoted to director, and also announced as the executive vice president of Koei Tecmo,) and it had become difficult for him to be involved on the project. However, instead of dropping his involvement on the project altogether, he’s been supervising the game’s direction. Keep in mind that he’s also been busy as the president of Gust since their acquisition.

 

  • The game is in development with the PlayStation 4 as a base. Up until now, it was always PlayStation 3 as the base with the PlayStation 4 getting a nicer brushed up version, and the Vita with a PS3 version that can be played on a handheld, but this time, it’ll be PlayStation 4 as the main.

 

  • They’ve remade the action part of the game three times already through trial and error. The other parts like the story, extra elements, and game system parts have been going well, and Koei Tecmo aim to release it sometime this winter.

 

  • The most important part is the feeling you get from using the series’ 3D Maneuver Gear, while using its wires to take on the Titans. This is something they’re especially putting their focus on.

 

  • It still remains a secret whether the player will take on the role of Eren Jaeger.

 

  • Basic controls and taking down Titans can be done by just about anyone, but in order to take them down swiftly, you’ll need to put in some smooth moves as part of the game’s action, so it sounds like you’ll get to take down Titans like Levi once you get good enough.

 

The Attack On Titan game is expected to launch in Japan, North America, and Europe in 2016 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Vita.

That sounds REALLY promising and relieves some of my worries.

 

Sacrificing allies will likely be sad, but then if it is following the manga then we know who'll survive.

 

Glad that they're really focusing on how to properly use the manuvere gear, the 3DS games controls feel a bit iffy.

 

I hope we'll get to play as Mikasa, Armin, Levi, Sasha and more like the 3DS game though.
