February 18, 2016
We’ve known for a while now that Koei Tecmo’s Attack on Titan game would be coming to PS3, PS4 and PS Vita in February. Now thanks to Gematsu, we appear to have an actual Japanese release date: February 18, 2016.
There currently isn’t any word on when the game will be making its way to the west, other than a vague “2016.” Considering the massive popularity of Attack on Titan in the west, I don’t expect it to take as long as Dragon Quest Heroes’ eight-month wait for a localisation, but unfortunately it could still be a while before we get our hands on it.
As well as the standard release of the game, Japan will also be seeing a Treasure Box edition full of goodies: an artbook, the soundtrack, a muffler towel, six badges, and exclusive costumes.
Now we just need to wait until February 18 to see whether this big-budget adaptation is anywhere near as good as that small fangame that’s been available for a couple of years now. I lost so many hours to that thing, so here’s hoping Koei Tecmo’s attempt is just as fun!
