Attack on Titan 3 got the marquee slot at Tokyo Game Show 2026 on Sunday, September 20, with voice actors Yu Kobayashi and Shiori Mikami joining Koei Tecmo’s broadcast to walk through new story beats and gameplay footage ahead of the game’s December 10 launch.

The stage streamed at 3:40 p.m. JST as the centerpiece of Koei Tecmo’s five-title Tokyo Game Show lineup, confirmed by Notebookcheck, which also included Wo Long 2: Wings of Ember, Atelier Karia, Dynasty Warriors 3 Complete Edition Remastered, and Nobunaga’s Ambition: Hishou.

Who Showed Up, and What They Talked About

Kobayashi and Mikami voice Sasha Blouse and Krista Lenz (Historia Reiss) respectively in the Japanese dub of the anime, and both joined the TGS broadcast to walk through fresh story beats alongside new gameplay footage. Neither Koei Tecmo nor Omega Force, the game’s developer, has published a full recap of everything shown on stage, but the appearance confirms both characters remain part of the game’s story mode.

It’s the second straight day this desk has covered a marquee TGS 2026 reveal, after Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance’s Teostra reveal on Capcom’s own stage the day before.

What Attack on Titan 3 Actually Is

Attack on Titan 3 is developed by Omega Force and published by Koei Tecmo, and it aims to retell Hajime Isayama’s manga “from beginning to end” in one game, per Gematsu’s July gameplay reveal. Players build a custom Scout, join the 104th Cadet Corps, and level up relationships with Eren, Mikasa, and Armin to unlock new abilities and cutscenes.

Combat still centers on ODM-gear traversal, but titans now come with a wider range of attacks and behaviors that reward using the environment instead of charging in head-on. It’s a big bet on a franchise that has already sold over 140 million copies of the manga worldwide as of November 2023, and Omega Force is betting a full-series retelling can pull in both longtime readers and players who never picked up a volume.

A Late-Cycle Showcase Before December

This TGS slot is one of the last major showcases before launch, and it comes days after the game’s home console platforms and December 10 date were reconfirmed as part of Koei Tecmo’s wider TGS 2026 lineup announcement, itself an extension of the game’s earlier Attack on Titan Day reveal earlier this month.

A new MAPPA-directed opening animation, led by Attack on Titan anime action animator Arifumi Imai, is planned as a post-launch addition rather than a day-one feature. Readers catching up on the anime before jumping into the game can start with this site’s full Attack on Titan watch guide.

Tokyo Game Show 2026 marks the event’s 30th anniversary and was set to run its longest-ever five days before organizers canceled the September 21 finale ahead of an approaching typhoon, cutting the show to four days. Sunday’s Attack on Titan 3 stage went ahead as scheduled.
