Attack on Titan 3 Preview: Commander Perspective and Squad Mechanics

Koei Tecmo’s Omega Force studio is releasing Attack on Titan 3, a hack-and-slash title that shifts the narrative focus from the original cast to an original veteran commander. This character, suffering from PTSD after a failed mission, serves as an instructor for the 104th Cadet Corps before leading a small reconnaissance team parallel to the main plot. The gameplay retains the series' signature aerial combat system, allowing players to swing through the air and target Titan weak spots with intuitive controls. Beyond standard battles, the game introduces resource gathering and squad management elements. Players must collect materials to craft equipment and recruit new members for their unit. While the preview build suggests these strategic layers are currently simplistic, they offer potential for deeper tactical engagement. The commander’s personal arc provides additional lore expansion, though its resolution appears rushed within the tested timeframe.

Crunchyroll News reported on October 30, 2026, that the game launches December 10 with a full story adaptation. Anime News Network revealed a trailer on November 2, 2026, ahead of the December launch. CBR Anime stated on November 3, 2026, that the producer explained a seven-year development delay.
