KOEI TECMO Europe released a plethora of information today regarding the new gameplay Systems and playable characters featured in their upcoming title, A.O.T. 2: Final Battle. The latest entry in their colossal action game series, based on the worldwide anime phenomenon ‘Attack on Titan’, is slated for release on the 5th July 2019 for the PlayStation4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and digitally on Windows PC via Steam.
A.O.T. 2: Final Battle offers aspiring commanders the chance to create their own corps, and fight to recover the land outside of the walls, in the action-packed Territory Recovery Mode. As players start, they’ll be able to customise their corps’ name and emblem; as well as assign a commander from any of the game’s playable characters – including their custom-made Scout from A.O.T. 2. Territory Recovery Mode features two rounds. The first is a ‘Base’ phase where players can freely roam around to socialise with allies, use materials to prepare and upgrade equipment, and prepare themselves for the battle ahead. Once that phase is complete, the ‘Outer Campaign’ phase begins; Scouts will venture outside of the walls in this thrilling section in the hopes to claim land back for humanity.
A range of remarkable new gear is provided to Scouts for their battles against titanic foes. The standard ‘Slashing Gear’ returns; where they will equip blades with their ODM to quickly slice body parts, alongside the powerful ‘Shooting Gear’ action, where blades are replaced with guns. Shooting Gear provides the choice between One-Handed Attacks, allowing for easy targeting and evasion of Titan parts in exchange for faster gas consumption and lower damage attacks, or Two-Handed Attacks which deal massive damage while making it harder to evade incoming hits. Scouts are also provided a revolutionary weapon in the fight against the Titans; the Thunder Spear, which sports the greatest power in their arsenal and can completely wipe one out in a single blow.
Scouts eager to join the action are able to pre-order now to get their hands-on bonus content for the ultimate ‘Attack on Titan’ experience. Those who purchase A.O.T. 2: Final Battle, physically or digitally, on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One during the first month of launch will receive the “Queen of Historia” costume for Christa, “Young Male Coat” for Kenny, “Plain Clothes (Underground City)” for Levi, and “One-piece Dress” costume for Mikasa. PlayStation 4 players will also receive early access to playable characters ‘Kenny’ and ‘Zeke’ when purchasing in the first month, whilst Xbox One players that pre-order the game ahead of launch will be able to unlock these two characters early for their roster. Pre-orders on Nintendo Switch will start in the coming weeks; stay tuned to the official site and social channels for further information.
KOEI TECMO Europe also released two new trailers to showcase these exciting gameplay features, as well as a first look at five new playable characters; Scout Regiment member, Nifa, 104th Training Corps cadet, Floch, First Interior Squad Captain, Kenny Ackerman, First Interior Squad member, Traute, and a mysterious man, Zeke – which might know more to the mystery behind the walls than he lets on.
