Play as a Titan in 'Attack on Titan'
"Attack on Titan," an adventure title from developer Omega Force and publisher Koei Tecmo, features a playable Titan. The publisher recently shared Titan's gameplay in a new video.
The short clip (below) features the protagonist Eren Yeager transforming into a Titan and then taking on the other Titans and destroying buildings as he does. Koei Tecmo previously revealed that Eren's Titan form will be playable in the game. The footage is very short, roughly 20 seconds only, but it should be enough to give gamers an idea on how the character behaves in the game.
The adventure role-playing game releases Feb. 18 in Japan. The game launches with single-player mode only, but Koei Tecmo promised to add online multiplayer co-op mode in a major update. The free update will add support for online cooperative play for up to four players. The new mode will be available on the PlayStation 3, PS4, and PS Vita. In addition to the upcoming mode, Koei Tecmo will also add 10 additional items to the new game, including Titan decorations for the base. The patch is scheduled to roll out on March 24.
