Koei Tecmo and Omega Force officially announced Attack on Titan 3 at Summer Game Fest 2026. The game promises to cover the entire anime story from beginning to end for the first time, launching on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Steam. Full gameplay details arrive July 1.
Koei Tecmo and Omega Force announced Attack on Titan 3 at Summer Game Fest on June 5, 2026, releasing a reveal trailer that confirms the game will adapt the entire anime and manga storyline from beginning to end. This marks the first time the complete story of Hajime Isayama’s series will be playable in a single game. The title is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam, with a release date yet to be announced.
Why This Announcement Is a Bigger Deal Than It Looks
Eight years passed between Attack on Titan 2 and this announcement. The first game, A.O.T.: Wings of Freedom (2016), adapted only Season 1 of the anime. The sequel, Attack on Titan 2 (2018), extended coverage through Seasons 1 and 2, with the Final Battle DLC later incorporating Season 3. But at the time both games shipped, the anime was still unfinished. The Rumbling, Eren’s full transformation into the story’s central antagonist, Hange’s final stand against the Colossal Titans, and the controversial series conclusion none of it was available yet.
Attack on Titan 3 exists because the story is now complete. Koei Tecmo’s mandate, as described by Geoff Keighley during the Summer Game Fest presentation, is to depict the entire Attack on Titan story from its Survey Corps beginnings to its dramatic conclusion in one definitive release. That is a meaningful step up from every previous entry in the game series.
What the Reveal Trailer Actually Showed
The announcement trailer leaned heavily on cinematic moments rather than raw gameplay footage, which is a deliberate choice: Omega Force is letting the source material generate anticipation before the July 1 gameplay reveal fills in the mechanical details. The trailer included Hange’s last stand against the Colossal Titans, Levi dismantling the Beast Titan with characteristic precision, and scenes tied directly to the Rumbling, the sequence in which tens of thousands of Colossal Titans march across the world beyond Paradis.
The most significant gameplay confirmation in the trailer: the Nine Titans, the most powerful Titan shifters in the entire series, are confirmed to appear in combat for the first time in the game franchise. Whether that means they are playable characters, boss encounters, or both is not yet clear and will likely be addressed in the July 1 livestream.
ODM Gear Gets a Meaningful Upgrade
The omni-directional mobility gear system, the ODM traversal that defined the feel of both previous games, is confirmed to receive upgrades in Attack on Titan 3. According to Koei Tecmo’s official description, improvements to the battle system will enable “more acrobatic and intense fights.” The ODM mechanics were always the strongest part of the earlier games, creating a traversal loop that no other franchise replicates. How far those upgrades extend into new movement options or combat depth remains to be shown on July 1.
New Story Content Beyond the Anime
Attack on Titan 3 is not simply a full adaptation of the anime. Koei Tecmo confirmed that the game will include brand-new story content and lore developed specifically for the game. This is the detail most likely to bring back players who already know every beat of the source material. Original content built within Isayama’s world gives the game something the anime itself cannot offer, and it follows the precedent set by both previous games, which included original scenarios developed with Isayama’s supervision.
The July 1 Livestream Is Where the Real Information Starts
The first major gameplay reveal is scheduled for July 1, 2026, through an official global livestream. Special guests confirmed for the event include Yui Ishikawa, the Japanese voice of Mikasa Ackerman, and Shiori Mikami, the Japanese voice of Krista (Historia). The presence of both returning voice actors at a gameplay reveal strongly suggests that the character roster extends well beyond the core trio of Eren, Mikasa, and Armin into the full ensemble cast of the final arc.
In addition, the game will be showcased at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles from July 2 through July 5, where the latest trailer will screen at the AmiAmi exhibitor booth, giving North American fans their first hands-on opportunity ahead of any wider preview events.
Platform Coverage Across Three Console Generations
Attack on Titan 3 targets four platforms at launch:
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series X|S
- Nintendo Switch 2
- PC via Steam (digital download only)
Nintendo Switch 2 inclusion is worth noting: the first game launched on PS3 and PS4, the second game came to the original Switch in 2018, and the third continues that pattern onto Switch 2, maintaining the franchise across three Nintendo console generations. No PS4 or Xbox One versions were announced, confirming this is a next-generation and PC-only release. Text language support includes Japanese, English, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Korean, French, Italian, German, and Spanish; audio is confirmed in Japanese only at this stage.
How This Compares to the Previous Games
| Title | Release Year | Story Coverage | Platforms |
|---|---|---|---|
| A.O.T.: Wings of Freedom | 2016 | Season 1 (manga chapters 1–33) | PS3, PS4, Vita, Xbox One, PC |
| Attack on Titan 2 (+ Final Battle DLC) | 2018 / 2019 | Seasons 1–3 (up to chapter 90) | Switch, PS4, Vita, Xbox One, PC |
| Attack on Titan 3 | TBA (2026) | Full story, beginning to end | PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, Steam |
Things Players Are Already Asking
Do you need to play the previous games first? No. Attack on Titan 3 is designed to cover the complete story from the very beginning, making it a self-contained entry that works for newcomers and returning players alike. Familiarity with the earlier games adds context but is not required.
Will the Rumbling be playable? The trailer features Rumbling scenes prominently. The confirmed presence of the Nine Titans and the explicit coverage of the story’s final arc strongly imply that the Rumbling will be a major in-game sequence rather than just a cutscene backdrop. Exact structure has not been confirmed yet.
Is there a release date? No release date has been announced as of June 8, 2026. The July 1 livestream is the most likely moment for a window or date reveal.
Will it be a Warriors-style musou game again? Probably, but not confirmed. The reveal trailer showed only cinematic footage, so Siliconera and other outlets noted that the degree to which the game follows the musou formula is still unknown. Omega Force is the developer, which makes a Warriors-style action foundation the most logical assumption, but upgrades to the ODM system suggest meaningful evolution from the previous formula.
Is the whole anime covered or just the final arc? The whole anime, from the Fall of Shiganshina to the War for Paradis. This is the most important distinction between Attack on Titan 3 and every previous title in the series.
