Attack on Titan 2

Attack on Titan 2 (進撃の巨人2, Shingeki no Kyojin 2), localized as A.O.T. 2 in Europe, is the second Omega Force adaptation and Koei's third collaboration title for Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan. It was first announced on-stage at the 2017 Gamescom trade fair. The story has been expanded to include the second season of the animated TV series.

Hideo Suzuki is the director and Hisashi Koinuma is producer. They stated that this game will strive to be more faithful to the source material in its visual presentation, character and Titan animations, and Titan AI. Koinuma noted that it is the team's desire to better replicate the world in Attack on Titan and the terror that the Titans can invoke in this title.

Gameplay

 * ODM Gear has been improved to enable a wider variety of movements against stronger Titans. The "Hook Drive" (boosting with gas while attacking) includes an additional feature that allows player characters to automatically circle behind their target.
 * Characters are now armed with capture cannons, weapons which can trap a Titan in a giant net and inhibit their movements.
 * "Surprise Attacks" allow players to analyze Titan behavior from a distance using the monocular. Press L2 to lock onto the target and, if undetected, the player's attack will deal greater damage.
 * Bases have been added to the battlefield. Players can claim a section of the map as a base by launching a smoke signal.
 * "Buddy Actions" from the previous title include various animations that weren't present in the original such as catching falling allies, latching onto ally Titans for a unified strike, and special Titan team-ups. The cooldown timer is still in effect.
 * Rescuing captured characters now imposes a cooldown timer that impedes both parties after a successful escape.
 * Titans come with a new "Alert Level" feature that will show up on the mini-map. A Titan's icon will gradually fill up based on their level of sluggish awareness to the player characters. If the alert level reaches maximum potency, the Titan will act in a hyper-aggressive "Danger Zone" state and are likely to perform actions that are closer to the original source material such as erratic jumping and flailing. It's advised to cancel this effect by relying on grenades.
 * Camp has been renamed "Daily Life Part" to include more moments of the characters at their leisure. Conversations and character-centric side story missions have been beefed up; these events aim to cater to fans of either the comic or the TV series, with bonus scenes that are wholly original to this game. Characters can also appear in casual clothing during this section.
 * Players can create their own original character and experience the first and second seasons of the TV series from a unique perspective. They can form bonds with the cast during key scenes.
