Atlus has announced that Shingeki no Kyojin: Humanity in Chains, known in North America as Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains, will be released in Europe, Australia and New Zealand on July 2nd on the Nintendo eShop for €29,99. They also confirmed that anyone purchasing the game will receive the Attack on Titan 3DS theme. Meanwhile, the game has received a 25% discount in North America, which will run from June 30 and lasts a week.
AtlusUSA recently posted on their Facebook page a short announcement that offered much information for the impending release of Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains. The game is scheduled for a May 12th release in North America (less than two weeks!), and Atlus plans to make a free Nintendo 3DS theme based on the game available to all gamers who purchase a North American or European copy of the game. The image above is a preview of what the theme will look like. Retail price for the North American release is set at $39.99, which is standard fare for 3DS games.
There is no release date set for Europe yet, but Atlus promises news in the future. Unexpectedly, it appears that there’s an existing copyright claim to “Attack on Titan” in Europe, and so the game will be known as SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN: Humanity in Chains. It’s a title that takes after the Japanese name of the franchise. Perhaps this is a change that may appeal to some gamers? After all, requests for dual-audio voice tracks in RPG’s have been consistent in recent times. What do you, as a reader, think about the European title?

Atlus announced the localization of Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains for Nintendo 3DS, during a Nintendo Direct on April 1st. The game, originally developed by Spike Chunsoft, is based on the popular anime and manga series, where humans fight giant-sized humanoids called Titans to defend their city and only home. In story mode, players can choose to play as the main characters of the series such as Eren and Mikasa as you follow the story through their perspective. In World mode, you can create your own character and choose missions and develop your character as you see fit. The game features local and online co-op multiplayer and New 3DS owners can control the camera with the C-stick. The game is scheduled for a May 2015 release digitally on 3DS eShop for North America and Europe.
