Attack on Titan

Attack on Titan remains a commercially active franchise with a new game, multiple figure lines, and merchandise releases, while creator Hajime Isayama has publicly expressed dissatisfaction with the series' ending.

Synthesized from 23 Yomimono stories · updated 3d ago

Koei Tecmo announced Attack on Titan 3 at Summer Game Fest 2026, with the game covering the Marley Arc through the final chapter of the manga. The tactical hunting action game, developed by ω-Force, will launch this winter on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. MAPPA, the studio behind the anime's final season, will produce a new opening animation for the game, which will be added via a later update. A broadcast on July 2 featured voice actors Yui Ishikawa and Shiori Mikami alongside producer Hideo Suzuki.

Multiple figure lines continue to expand. Kotobukiya's OSHI WORKS line released an Eren Yeager figure from The Final Season, priced at 8,800 yen for December 2026 delivery, and showed prototypes for Mikasa, Armin, Levi, and Sasha at Anime Expo 2026. MegaHouse's G.E.M. Series unveiled palm-sized Eren and Levi figures. Bandai Spirits announced the Ichiban Kuji Attack on Titan ~Dedicate Your Heart~ lottery, featuring MASTERLISE figures of six Survey Corps members, including a Levi Last One Prize, set for October 24, 2026. COSPA opened reservations for a Survey Corps jinbei and mini pouch, with early sales beginning in August 2026.

In a rare admission, Bandai Namco Filmworks apologized for including an unapproved Attack on Titan reference in a new Sgt. Frog movie, citing a communications breakdown despite the rights holder's clear objections. Creator Hajime Isayama stated at the Attack on Titan in HITA Museum that he feels a sense of insincerity about the ending, explaining that Eren Yeager's global popularity made him unable to fully commit to depicting the character as purely detestable. GeekOut launched the third official Attack on Titan Roblox title, 'Attack on Titan Tycoon,' developed by Bulk Games from a 2024 contest. Crunchyroll Manga added the Attack on Titan manga to its app as part of a 23-title Kodansha catalog addition.
