‘Attack on Titan’ game sequel will cover the anime series’ second season

Attack on Titan may not be the anime flavor of the month as it was when the first series dropped a full four years ago, but that doesn’t mean its dedicated fan base has forgotten about it. Indeed the games available for them today are much better than back then and arguably the best, the multiplatform Attack on Titan, is getting a full-blown sequel to take fans through the events of the anime’s second season.

Shingeki no Kyojin, or Attack on Titan as it’s known in the West, has had more fan games made for it than publisher backed commercial titles. Although that’s surprising considering its interesting premise and unique combat potential, Attack on Titan, or A.O.T Wings of Fury as it was released in Europe, was a faithful recreation of the anime and its manga source. Now the sequel will look to do the same for some of the material released since its predecessor’s debut.

So far all we know about the game can be drawn from its announcement trailer, which showcases some familiar faces and some less so.

For anyone who plans to watch the season, this trailer does contain some spoilers from the first few episodes.

Attack on Titan 2 - Announcement Trailer

The original game’s developer, Omega Force, will be returning to handle the sequel. It is perhaps most well-known for creating the Dynasty Warrior series, as well as more recent titles like Hyrule Warriors and the Toukiden games.

We’re told that Attack on Titan 2 will feature much the same high-speed, omnidirectional maneuvering combat of the original game, but with entirely new gameplay mechanics. What those are or how players will utilize them to restore peace within the walls of humanity’s last known stronghold have yet to be revealed, though Koei Tecmo promises more details as we get closer to the game’s eventual release date at some point in “early 2018.”

If you can’t wait that long to cut through some titan napes yourself, you can always check out some of the fan games out there. Fenglee’s is losing its online servers soon, but the new one from Roark is looking very promising.

If you need a new Nintendo Switch 2 game already, don’t miss Battle Train
A conductor sends a train car forward in Battle Train.

Whenever I get a new video game handheld (there are a lot of them these days), my first goal is always to find my "go-to game." I seek out the kind of replayable puzzlers or roguelikes that I will always keep installed and come back to whenever I don't have anything new to play. On Nintendo 3DS, it was Dr. Mario Miracle Cure. On Nintendo Switch, it was Tetris 99. On Steam Deck, it was Vampire Survivors. And now on Nintendo Switch 2, it's Battle Train.

The new deckbuilding roguelike, published by Bandai Namco, has everything I want from a long-term console staple. It has that all-important "one more run" hook, strategic depth that reveals itself with each attempt, and tons of unlockables. It's right up there with StarVaders as one of 2025's most inventive and purely pleasurable games.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s cutscenes are so good, they’ll screen at a film festival
Henry of Skalitz looks at the camera.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has been criticized as an interactive movie, but now it's getting an actual movie of sorts: the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival is showing a "cinematic cut" of the game on July 9. Warhorse Studios calls it a "proud moment for games as a serious storytelling medium."

What that cinematic cut will look like is anyone's guess, but unless it's absurdly long, it won't be able to capture the full story. Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has somewhere around a dozen hours of cutscenes for just the main story alone, not to mention the many, many sidequests in the game. While it would be hilarious to see viewers roped into a 15-hour-long Let's Play, that seems unlikely.
