Attack on Titan 3 will launch on December 10, 2026, giving fans a firm date after the game was previously announced for Winter 2026. Koei Tecmo has confirmed versions for PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S. Console players will be able to choose between physical and digital releases, while the game’s planned features make it a substantial return for the franchise on the gaming side.
What changed with Attack on Titan 3?
The release window is now a specific launch day: December 10, 2026. Omega Force is developing the game, which will cover the Attack on Titan anime’s story from its beginning through its conclusion. Players will also be able to create an original Scout Regiment member and fight alongside major characters including Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, Armin Arlert, and Levi Ackerman. The core action remains focused on the series’ signature omnidirectional mobility gear, but the game will also include conversations, gift-giving, and other relationship-building activities.
Who should follow the release?
Attack on Titan 3 is particularly relevant to fans who have been waiting for a game adaptation that covers the complete anime storyline. The manga ended in 2021, and the anime concluded in 2023, while Attack on Titan 2 has remained the latest mainline game adaptation for almost eight years. Players who own Attack on Titan 2 or Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle on the same platform will receive bonus content in the new game. Koei Tecmo has not yet explained what those rewards will include, so returning players should watch for a later announcement.
What comes with each edition and what happens next?
Koei Tecmo has announced a SteelBook Launch Edition and a Digital Deluxe Edition. The latter includes a digital art book, a character customization pack, an original equipment pack, a starter item pack, and 72-hour early access. The publisher has also confirmed a free post-launch update containing an original opening animation for Attack on Titan 3. MAPPA will produce the animation, with anime action director Arifumi Imai directing it. That means the December launch will not represent the game’s final planned content.

Expert View
The December 10 date makes Attack on Titan 3 easier to plan for, but several purchase decisions still depend on details that have not been revealed, including the save-data bonuses. Its full-story campaign, character creation, and social systems give it a broader scope than a straightforward action adaptation. For longtime fans, it is worth tracking; cautious buyers may prefer to wait for more information about the editions and the post-launch update.
