Attack on Titan 3DS Game's Updated Chain Edition Previewed in Promo

Spike Chunsoft began streaming a new promotional video for the Shingeki no Kyojin ~Jinrui Saigo no Tsubasa~ CHAIN (Attack on Titan: The Last Wings of Humanity CHAIN) Nintendo 3DS game on Monday.

The video highlights the improvements in the new version: Internet cooperative play, new stages, new missions, new mode, over 20 voices for both new characters and characters that already appeared in the original version, new Titans, additional weapons, additional costumes, and more.

Four players can collaborate via the Nintendo 3DS system's Wi-Fi support on the Internet, and the game will offer limited text chat functionality as well as rankings. The Titans have new behaviors, and the staff have fine-tuned the 3D maneuver gear's motions, the game's difficulty levels, and other aspects. The pre-mission lobby has been revamped, the interface has been improved, and the game now supports the Circle Pad Pro (Slide Pad Expansion) peripheral.

The game is an update to last year's Shingeki no Kyojin ~Jinrui Saigo no Tsubasa~ Nintendo 3DS game. People who already own the original game can buy an "update kit" in the Nintendo eShop, and their save data will transfer over to the updated edition. The packaged retail and download versions will both cost 5,378 yen (about U$51), while the update kit will cost 2,160 yen (US$21, plus some free space on an SD card). The game will be released on December 4.
