‘Attack On Titan: Humanity In Chains’ Is Headed To The West Courtesy Of Atlus!

During the latest Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that not only will the latest Attack On Titan game for 3DS receive a Western release with Atlus on localization duty, but that it’s coming a lot sooner than we would think.

Subtitled Humanity In Chains, this handheld title is based on the wildly popular anime about the last surviving humans as they fight to defeat the giants, or Titans, that have nearly driven humanity to extinction. In a series that revolves around swinging with grappling hooks, (or in this case, 3D maneuver gears,) while fighting these towering monsters  with twin swords, a video game adaptation seems like a natural fit. Developed by the fine folks at Spike Chunsoft, (developers of gems like the Streetpass game, Warrior’s Way, and my game of 2014, Danganronpa,) up to four players will be able to jump online and take on the Titans together, as well as riding solo when necessary. Whether or not every stage will revolve around your character vowing to kill all the Titans, only to get killed in 10 minutes, is yet to be seen. It depends on how close they want to stick to the source material.

Coming exclusively to the Nintendo eShop in May, we don’t have long to wait for this one. Watch the new trailer below, and let us know what you think!
