We've long suspected that Attack On Titan: The Last Wings of Mankind could be coming to the west - after all, the game has an Australian age rating now - but we're still waiting on official confirmation that it's happening.
It would appear that Atlus USA - the company listed on the Australian rating as the publisher - is teasing something related to the game on its Vine account. You can view the short video below, which shows someone (in the role of a Titan) attacking a row of ketchup packets (presumably representing humans). Seasoned fans of the series will note that the line "Are you the hot dog?" apes the opening lyric of the anime show's theme tune ("Are you the prey? No, we are the hunters").
Could we see an official announcement regarding the western release of the game soon? Let us know what you think, and in the meantime, have a look at some video footage we captured from the Japanese version of the title and read our initial impressions.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS LOCALIZATION!
This game needs to be released in the U.S. It's just as popular here as in Japan!
If this is true, great! I literally finished the first season yesterday. What an awesome, intense ride it was! Can't wait for season 2 next year!
The franchise floodgates are about to open! Release the games and movies in the U.S.!
But is the game any good?
For the love of Arceus THEN PLEASE ANNOUNCE IT FOR EUROPE TOO!!!!!!!
Didnt know anything about this game, got REALLY excited......then realized it was 3ds not Wii u!!! Well I guess I'd pick one up at some point anyway and they HAVE just dropped the price of the old 3ds....hmmm.......
If it's apparently on its way to Australia then it's going to come to Europe/the UK since they're classed as the same territory
The anime looks a lot more appealing than that game footage...
Nintendo buy rights to attack on titan
I haven't even seen the show yet. I might have to check it out sometime.
I saw a Titan's ass. Anyway, I think the combat is repetitively boring/unappealing.
BIG, BIG TITAN SIZED fan of the anime and manga so I would welcome this game being localised with open arms.
Make it happen Europe!
"Are you the hotdog?" No, we are the ketchup.
I would have loved to have this game when I was watching the show like two years ago, but frankly I'm not so sure I still care all that much now - even assuming it is any good
The title should read is Atlus teasing another 50$ game!
Hotdog? I don't see anything there, but if it were a potato, then that would change everything, even mankind ;3
@ULTRA-64 You don't have a 3DS? I feel sorry for you...
@spoony_tech 100% agree my friend!
It does look good, don't get me wrong. But it appears repetitive.
I am really hoping this gets announced in US also as we are all assuming. Gameplay looks awesome. Somewhat like a fast-paced Shadow of the Colossus without climbing. I'm sold just from this footage (even better if they leave the option to use Japanese audio)! So exciting!
@SheldonRandoms yes why not a potato!? Haha nice one
I finally got around to finishing the anime last week.
Will probably pick up the game if it comes to North America.
@OdnetninAges
I watched all the episodes on Netflix. I want to start reading the mange soon, but those are expensive!
As a game...looks kinda boring. As a 3DS tech demo, it's not bad.
@JellySplat I have a sealed Japanese copy of the first issue.
@B3ND3R
Nice dude! But do you have a gold Mario amiibo...?
1st this. Then a nintendo direct tomorrow? All but confirmed. All i can say is,"Sold."
Yes, yes they are. The image even apes parts of scenes from the first episode, IIRC.
@ULTRA-64 "If you don't have a 3DS..."
I thought this game was already confirmed NL?
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/10/attack_on_titan_the_last_wings_of_mankind_looks_set_for_a_western_release
Hopefully this also comes to Europe, and gets announced in the direct tomorrow!
Platinum games (the ones who worked on Bayonetta 2) should create an AOT game for the Wii U.
As much as I'm a fan of the series, I don't think I'd buy this if it came to the west.
I never really got into the series but I remember having a great time playing the fan-made browser game about a year ago. It was good fun and extremely difficult at first. This game looks sort of one-note, but I'd be willing to check it out. Hopefully some day someone will hear my prayer to make a Nintendo game that is akin to Earth Defense Force because I don't want to buy a Vita JUST to play EDF2017 on the go.
Looks like it would get boring kinda quickly.
