The game will be released for the following consoles: PS4, Xbox One, PS3 and Vita, and PC, the report said. The PS4 and Xbox One ports of the game will have physical releases, while the rest of the platforms will be getting digital releases only.
According to a report in Gematsu, the subtitle "Wings of Freedom" is applicable in Europe, while in the U.S., the game goes by the name "Attack on Titan." This western release will also have appropriate subtitling available, particularly in English, German and French. Koei Tecmo shared the following description for the game: "'Attack on Titan' closely follows the riveting story line of Attack on Titan's first season and focuses on the exploits of various key characters, putting the player in a position to relive the anime's most shocking, courageous, and exhilarating moments. It revolves around the story of three young people who survive the destruction of their walled city district by enormous, man-eating Titans and eventually go on to join the Scout Regiment in order to protect humanity from this overpowering foe."
Because the game will cover the first season's storyline, it will also feature the key characters in that season, which includes 10 playable characters with different abilities namely Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Krista, Sasha, Conny, Jean, Levi, Hange and Erwin. These are familiar faces especially for those who watch the anime series.
Japanese gamers were the first to see the game adaptation of the popular manga series when it was released earlier this year in February.
