KOEI TECMO has dropped a new trailer for Attack on Titan 2, giving a taste of the new narrative players can come to expect. The team has also unveiled new details on additional playable characters: Hitch Dreyse, Marlo Freudenberg, Mina Carolina, Nile Dawk, Thomas Wagner, Annie Leonhart, Bertholdt Hoover, Reiner Braun, the Armored Titan, the Colossal Titan, the Female Titan and a “Mysterious Titan” form. I don’t know anything about the show, so I’m guessing those people are pretty important.
This time around players will be able to create their own custom Scout in ATTACK ON TITAN 2, an all-new addition to the series, offering a new perspective on the events of both seasons of the anime, Attack on Titan. With enhanced Titan movements, Scouts will have to strategically use a plethora of new abilities in order to survive; from evade-style attacks like the hook drive ability, to long-rage sneak attacks – carefully strategized with the help of the new monocular tool.
This all sounds nice, but I’m just hoping that the game isn’t simply the first game over again, only with the ability to create a character. I actually really enjoyed the first game, even though my knowledge of the Attack on Titan universe was very small. Let’s all just hope this doesn’t turn into a Sonic Forces sort of situation.
Additional RPG elements have been implemented into ATTACK ON TITAN 2’s Town Life segments; allowing players to build relationships with their favorite characters from the Attack on Titan universe to gain a deeper understanding of their comrades.
ATTACK ON TITAN 2 will be will hit all consoles (this includes the Switch) and PC on March 20, 2018.
