Attack on Titan 3 Reboots the Story After a Seven-Year Wait
Attack on Titan 3 will retell the series from beginning to end, producer Hideo Suzuki says.
The upcoming game comes seven years after Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle, released in 2019.
Earlier games covered the anime’s first three seasons, while the new game starts with the attack on Eren’s hometown in Season 1.
Suzuki said the team chose this approach because the newer anime seasons alone did not provide enough material for a 20-to-30-hour game.
Players will experience the story through a customizable original character, with added side stories and events.
The team plans to include familiar scenes while telling parts of the story differently from the anime.
A support system will help story-focused players, while the developers are also working to balance the challenge for newcomers and experienced players.
Attack on Titan 3 will retell the series from the beginning through its ending, rather than continuing from the earlier games.
Producer Hideo Suzuki said the team chose this approach because the newer anime seasons alone did not provide enough material for a full-length game.
The story will be told through a customizable, game-original character and will include new sub-stories and events.
The game will retain recognizable scenes from the anime while presenting them differently.
The team is also adjusting difficulty and adding support options for players who mainly want to follow the story.

What people are saying
We [have] decided to cover the story from beginning to end ... and covering the anime from beginning to end takes a long time!
There wasn't enough volume,
We did include those iconic scenes from the final season in the anime because fans are going to recognize those.
