Attack on Titan is in a merchandise- and event-heavy phase built around the franchise's official September 9 anniversary, with a new console and PC game, Attack on Titan 3, set for December 10, 2026, and a re-release of the theatrical films in premium formats. The mobile game Brave Order ends service on September 28, 2026.
The most concrete current thread is the game. Koei Tecmo's Attack on Titan 3 launches December 10, 2026 on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, developed by Omega Force and covering the anime story from beginning to end, with a MAPPA opening animation added in a later update. A playable demo at Tokyo Game Show 2026 built around the Zeke and Levi fight shows how the game handles ODM gear movement and rationed special attacks. MAPPA also released the opening animation key visual on September 9.
The franchise's commercial activity now runs through a formal anniversary. The Japan Anniversary Association designated September 9 as Attack on Titan Day, tied to the manga's first publication in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine in 2009, and the designation arrived with a key visual, a cast livestream, and a 99-item news drop. Merchandise built on that date includes Kotobukiya's OSHI WORKS figures of Levi, Armin, and Sasha scheduled across May to July 2027, a Medicos Chozo Kado BIG line expanding from Eren Yeager to the Armored Titan and Female Titan, an AMNIBUS Dreaming Throne line built around Eren, Erwin, Hange, and Levi, and a Tower Records jazz pop-up shop returning September 11 to 21, 2026.
Physical events continue alongside the goods. MAPPA EXPO 15th Anniversary runs at YURAKUCHO MUSEUM through December 7 with a Rumbling display and watercolor background art from The Final Season. The two theatrical films return in SCREEN X, 4DX, and ULTRA 4DX, with Crimson Bow and Arrow from October 23, 2026 and THE LAST ATTACK in 2027. Kodansha and Dentsu have opened Americas brand deals covering Attack on Titan, Ghost in the Shell, and Blue Lock. On the game side, Attack on Titan: Brave Order ends service on September 28, 2026, after launching for iOS and Android in February 2022.

Wit Studio president George Wada said Attack on Titan was the only project the studio considered for its first anime. Speaking with Anime News Network at Anime Expo 2026, Wada said he chose Hajime Isayama's manga because it fit director Tetsuro Araki and because the studio's own situation matched the story.

He also noted the studio grew from six people to more than 300.
