"Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains," the highly-anticipated action game inspired by Hajime Isayama's widely popular manga series, will be landing in North America on May 12, game compaany Atlus announced via a newly released trailer.
Gamers will be able to get it from the eShop for their 3DS on the said date. For $39.99, they can get the Spike Chunsoft-developed game as well as a bonus 3DS theme, which is solely obtainable by buying the title.
On the other hand, gamers in Europe will have to wait longer before they can get a hold of the 3DS game. The delay in the region is due to a copyright claim. A release date has not been settled but a new title for the game has been set in stone to address the issue.
Initially titled "Attack on Titan: The Last Wings of Mankind," it will be called "Shingeki no Kyojin: Humanity in Chains," which is simply the Japanese translation of "Attack on Titan." Just like buyers in the United States, gamers in Europe will also get a 3DS theme along with the game.
This new title is an improved successor of the Spike Chunsoft game of the same name. It brings in Internet cooperative play that allows up to four players to join. A gameplay improvement that brings it closer to its adapted manga series is the inclusion of a new Story Mode that lays out five character routes. Part of the major overhaul in the game is its support on C-Stick for the new Nintendo 3DS as well as the Circle Pad Pro.
In a new trailer for the game, Atlus introduces the characters in "Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains" by showing them running around the field slaying Titans with their unique fighting styles and weapons.
