Atlus to bring the 3DS’ Attack on Titan to fans

Atlus will be publishing one of the biggest 3DS games of the year with Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains.

You can get a few little glimpses of gameplay in there, and from what’s being shown the first Attack on Titan game to make the jump to western audiences is looking pretty sharp. The game will feature all the signature weapons and equipment from the cartoon show, and is actually based upon an earlier title- which sort of makes this a remake, though one that’ll be hitting a much wider group of gamers than the original.

You can expect both online co-op play and a campaign mode out of this one, as well as some customizable characters.

• Story Mode: As a member of the elite Scout Regiment, defending the outer walls from the Titans will push players to their very limits to save humanity. Enhanced Titan AI behavior will sap every ounce of ability from players as they make a last stand for the human race.
• Familiar Characters, New  Customizations: Eren Jaeger, Mikasa Ackermann and others will be familiar faces for players as they pick their favorite Scout member to defend the Walls. Several new additions will join the Scout Regiment, customizable with costumes, weapons and voices.
• Online Co-op Mode: Defend the outer walls with up to three friends in the all-new online co-op mode with ranking and leaderboards.
• Fresh Look: Updates to the UI, improvements in gameplay balance and support for the Circle Pad Pro and the New Nintendo 3DS XL system’s C-Stick take Humanity in Chains to the next level.

Presented with the original Japanese audio and english subtitles, Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains will be available on the eShop exclusively (no boxed copy) this May.
