Arm Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man with two big Stanley knives s and you’ve got Attack on Titan, a manga and anime sequence set in a Renaissance-ish kingdom the place spunky teenagers wielding knives and grappling hooks reduce up marauding dopey giants with far too many tooth. It’s heavy on the angst and exposition but additionally a proper lark when the warteens swing round slicing giants, and about the identical is true for its 2016 video game adaptation. The sequel is out now and bought on Steam however beware: the English translation gained’t be in till subsequent Tuesday, March 20th. Click your Stanley again in.
If you’ll be able to learn Japanese or need to bluff your manner by, now you can purchase and play Attack On Titan 2. Otherwise, you’ll want to attend. The English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish subtitles and UI translations gained’t launch till a while on Tuesday the 20th.
Publishers Koei Tecmo have been clear all alongside that March 15th was the Japanese launch and it’d be out there internationally on the 20th, however I used to be nonetheless shocked to see it pop up as a brand new launch on Steam this morning. It appears unlikely that Koei Tecmo are desperately scrambling to complete the localisations, provided that console disc copies are already printed, so I assume they’re holding the discharge again to placate retailers. Oh effectively. No oceans and all that.
Attack On Titan 2 is/shall be out on Steam priced at £55/€70/$60 (yeah, I don’t know what’s up with these conversions both).
More giant-stabbing motion is coming in April with Extinction, which appears to swing someplace between Attack On Titan and Shadow Of The Colossus in its monster-climbing murders.
