Mark your calendars and sharpen your blades — Attack on Titan 3 drops July 1, 2026, and it’s shaping up to be the definitive anime action game of the year. After a seven-year gap since the last entry, Koei Tecmo and Omega Force are back with what they’re calling the “riveting culmination” of their Attack on Titan game series.
What Makes Attack on Titan 3 Different?
Unlike its predecessors, Attack on Titan 3 covers the entire story arc of Hajime Isayama‘s legendary manga — from the Survey Corps’ early days behind Wall Maria to the dramatic, world-shattering conclusion. That’s right: you’ll experience every major battle, every betrayal, and every gut-punch moment from start to finish in a single package.
But the real game-changer? All Nine Titans are now fully playable for the first time in the franchise’s gaming history. The Attack Titan, the Colossal Titan, the Armored Titan, the Female Titan, the Beast Titan, the Jaw Titan, the Cart Titan, the War Hammer Titan, and the Founding Titan — each with unique combat mechanics and transformation sequences.
Upgraded ODM Gear Combat System
Omega Force has completely overhauled the 3D Maneuver Gear (ODM) system that made the original games so addictive. Early gameplay footage from Summer Game Fest 2026 showed a much more fluid, physics-driven traversal system. You’re not just grappling from point A to point B anymore — momentum, timing, and blade angle all matter now.
The combat feels like a natural evolution of the series, blending the fast-paced aerial action fans loved with deeper tactical options. Coordinating with AI companions during large-scale Titan battles adds a layer of strategy that the previous games lacked.
Platforms and Next-Gen Features
Attack on Titan 3 is launching simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. The next-gen console versions are targeting 60fps with enhanced particle effects during Titan transformations, while the Switch 2 version is being optimized for portable play.
This also marks one of the first major anime game titles built with Switch 2 hardware in mind from the ground up, rather than being a last-gen port. If you missed it, the Switch 2 has already sold nearly 20 million units, making it a prime platform for major releases like this.
Anime Expo 2026 and the Next Scouting Report
If you want even more details before picking the game up, Koei Tecmo is hosting the “Next Scouting Report” — an official worldwide livestream — on July 1, 2026 at 3:00 PM PT / 6:00 PM ET. This broadcast will feature extended gameplay, developer commentary, and potentially some surprise reveals about post-launch content.
The game will also be playable at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles. Crunchyroll is also making big moves at Anime Expo this year, so the event is shaping up to be massive for anime fans.
Why This Matters for Anime Gaming
The anime game market has been on fire lately. Between Solo Leveling: Arise, Jujutsu Kaisen: Cursed Clash, and the upcoming Demon Slayer titles, there’s never been a better time to be an anime fan who games. But Attack on Titan 3 has something most of these don’t — a complete story with a definitive ending.
And the competition is heating up — Solo Leveling Season 3 has been officially confirmed, which means more anime game adaptations are likely on the way. Omega Force has a track record of delivering solid anime adaptations (they’re the team behind the Warriors/Musou franchise), and their experience with large-scale battlefield combat translates perfectly to the Titan-slaying fantasy.
