Attack on Titan, also known under its original Japanese name Shingeki no Kyojin, is a popular manga series following the adventures of Eren Yeager, a boy who vowed to get revenge on the gigantic titans that destroyed his hometown and killed his mother. This manga was a critical and commercial success, selling over 110 million print copies worldwide and becoming one of the best-selling manga series of all time. The manga was later adapted as an anime television series, with the third and final part of the Attack on Titan anime premiering in 2023.

During the Upload VR 2022 Winter Showcase, Univrs announced that Attack on Titan VR: Unbreakable, a new game inspired by the manga’s universe, will arrive next summer on Meta Quest 2. Attack on Titan VR: Unbreakable will feature both single-player and co-op modes, with the solo campaign having players fight to regain control of the city, slashing titans on their way. Players will be members of the Attack on Titan Scout Regiment, using a wide range of weapons to defeat the large man-eating titans that threaten their home. Univrs should unveil more details about the co-op mode and overall gameplay of Attack on Titan VR: Unbreakable in the upcoming months.
The teaser trailer for Attack on Titan VR: Unbreakable didn’t show any glimpse of gameplay or a cinematic to introduce the Attack on Titan story. It only mentions that the goal of the game is to “protect the future of humanity” and “eliminate the titan threat.” What this premise exactly entails remains a mystery, as Univrs didn’t share more information about the game through its teaser trailer. Attack on Titan VR: Unbreakable will feature Japanese and English voiceovers and subtitles when it releases sometime during the summer of 2023.
Attack on Titan VR: Unbreakable is not the first video game set in the Attack on Titan universe. In 2016, Omega Force teamed up with Koei Tecmo to release Attack on Titan: Wings of Freedom, an action hack-and-slash game retelling key moments from the manga. Another game, called Attack on Titan: Team Battle, focused more on capturing the feeling of swinging around with the omnidirectional mobility gear used by the characters in the manga. Unfortunately, Attack on Titan: Team Battle was canceled by Capcom due to the developer’s failure to provide “unparalleled immersion” in the game.
Attack On Titan VR: Unbreakable will release for Meta Quest 2 in summer 2023.
