As the release of the "Attack on Titan" video game draws near, fans of the anime series are getting excited to try their hand at battling Titans, the giant human-like monsters who are the antagonists in the game. The game will be released as a single-player game, with players choosing which character they will play as and defeat the Titans. While talking about the content and updates that the game will be receiving after its launch, publisher Koei Tecmo recently announced that an online co-op mode is in store for the game in March.

According to a report in Tech Times, the announcement was made during a livestream by Koei Tecmo discussing post-release content.
