Just in case you needed a reminder, Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle arrives on Nintendo Switch today. Koei Tecmo has shared a brand new trailer to celebrate its launch.
Final Battle is available as an upgrade pack for players who already own Attack on Titan 2 and also as a standalone release for anyone who wants to jump into the new content from scratch. It follows the storyline of the anime's third season, so players who are upgrading the base game will go straight into that Season 3 content, while those who pick up the new standalone game will get all three seasons in the same package.
If you're not clued up on your Attack on Titan games, this official description should point you in the right direction:
Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle offers gripping new gameplay modes to players, allowing them to experience the captivating narrative of the anime’s Season 3 storyline and develop their own regiment to reclaim land from the Titans. In Character Episode mode, gamers follow the Season 3 storyline across three different timelines: the Scout Regiment, 104th Cadet Corps, and the Warriors - witnessing pivotal plot points through the eyes of key characters. In Territory Recovery mode; aspiring commanders can create their own dream team, using any of the over 40 playable characters on the roster to venture outside of the walls and fight to claim land back for humanity.
A wealth of equipment is supplied to the Scouts to tackle all shapes and sizes of Titans. The tried-and-tested Slashing Gear uses blades to deliver high damage to body parts. Those who prefer long-distance attacks can instead equip the deadly Shooting Gear; with two guns dealing quick-fire damage. The Thunder Spear and Gatling Gun are also on hand for those who need to deal higher amounts of spectacular destruction.
You can also learn all you need to know from our full review of the base game; we praised it for its fast, frenetic and exhilarating combat, even if it can get a little repetitive.

I wish all of them were back on Netflix UK, wouldn't mind watching the first series again, never seen the second series
I didn't play it all the way through but I really enjoyed AoT on Switch. I'll likely be getting this expansion, but I need to watch the new season before I play it.
I really liked AoT 3DS, but when I got the switch version, I just didn't care for it...so I don't think I would bother getting this.
Maybe on sale. The price is a bit over my gaming budget.
I tried the demo and I was hoping for some spiderman type action. The game is kind of tough to start at first, but once I got the hang of it I got soooo bored. I feel like that is kind of a reoccuring theme with Koei Techmo. I just didn't feel a sense of rush from it, I feel like if they had some kingdom hearts feeling movement with spiderman like web zipping feel to it, it'd be different. But sheesh I just did not have fun with this game.
However, I hope the fans of this game have a great time regardless. I guess I just found the combat kind of boring.
might just be me but it feels like the Attack on Titan hype train has heavily died down
"Musou" games can get repetitive at times, too - KT still publishes them in droves and obviously finds a market for them. RPG elements only help since grind and recurrent battles of finite variety have been that domain's staples and have its market, too. And of course, all of this makes even more sense on portable platforms where you can spend quiet hours advancing the plot or on-and-off sessions to fill with grind. Bonus items? Better gear? Fan[servi]cier costumes? Extra scenarios and other unlocks? Different stuff in different games but none of it arguably inferior to the hi-scores and symbolic XP people get from crushing candy through their commutes.
This game... I've courted since Vita days and then on Switch, but it's neat to know that I can get the whole series' campaigns to date in one package. Hopefully getting it sooner than later (KT games are one investment your wallet will feel next morning), but I can use this time finishing Humanity in Chains and catching up with actual Season 3 (side note: that person was my fave female character in the series before it was cool, don't @ me).
I had fun swinging and launching around in this game. Picking up this one once price drops, and I'll sell my original copy
If your eyes are glowing green, can you see? Or is everything green?

This series really tapered off for me. The first season was so epic and intense, but the second season was extremely boring for me. The third season helped but still failed to meet the excitement of the first season. I believe we have another season coming later this year, I hope that season continues to push the show back toward the quality it started with. If the series ends on a strong note, I might give the games a go.
