The PSVita version however, will not be coming to the West and will be exclusive to Japan.

As for what is to be expected in the sequel game to "Attack on Titan," fans of the series and the game can expect more action-packed adventures as well as the titans themselves. The second installment of the game also features an improved omni-directional mobility gear gameplay that allows for better targeting precision as well as freedom of movement to fight the titans.

Of course the protagonists are not the only ones with improved skills and advantages. The titans this time around prove to be more difficult to take down with their enhanced abilities.

"Attack on Titan 2" will also have some advanced role-playing game (RPG) elements and more character interactions to help the players gain insight into the relationships and the goals of their teammates.
