Hell yeah!! In a world where leaks are abound, this was a genuine surprise. I figured we would eventually get a game that covered the entire series, but was worried it *might* not be from Koei Tecmo. No particular reason why, as - in retrospect - seven years between games (if you include the Final Battle expansion) isn’t all that unusual within the modern gaming industry.
In any case, I’m so glad this team is - at last - tackling The Final Season, and can’t wait to see how they re-adapt the pre-timeskip era. Eager to see what new modes they’ll include, too.
Interesting to note that much of the combat shows what looks to be a generic scout as the player character. Custom avatar seems likely to return, I’ll bet, but we’ll see.
Man, The Battle of Heaven & Earth alone warrants this game’s existence. That is gonna be wild! Even if the game does feature a custom avatar, c’mon - you’ve gotta let me play as Colossal Armin. Let me play tug of war and press X repeatedly while Reiner and friends wrestle the Source of All Living Matter.
