It seems like Attack on Titan isn’t finished just yet. The show aired its final episode in 2023 and released its most recent film in 2024. Not to mention, the manga published its final volume back in 2021, thus concluding the story of a world filled with titans. But despite its story coming to a close, it doesn’t mean the franchise is over. According to Attack on Titan’s producer, more content will be released in the near future.

During the premiere of Attack on Titan – The Official Concert – Beyond the Walls World Tour in Los Angeles, producer Tetsuya Kinoshita teased that there will be more films, projects, and collaborations in the near future. While details on what these new projects might entail remain hidden, this somewhat solidifies that fans will get to see more of Eren, Mikasa, and Armin once more at a later date.

“We plan to continue creating films like ‘Last Attack’, concerts like this one, and various game collaborations moving forward.”

What Is The Story of ‘Attack on Titan’?

Attack on Titan follows a young boy named Eren Yeager, who lives in a city surrounded by walls on Paradis Island as man-eating titans roam the outside. After years of peace, the walls were breached by two new titans – the Armored Titan and the Colossal Titan. Eren watched as a titan ate his mother while he and his friends were safely rescued and sought refuge in the inner walls. From there, it became his mission to join the scouts to kill every titan.

As the story continues, details about the Titan’s origins slowly unravel as Eren and others can transform into Titans. Additionally, secrets about the outside world slowly get revealed, as they’re not the last remaining humans, but residents of an island located next to the mainland. Furthermore, the history of Paradis Island, its relationship with the outside world, and the origins of the Titan powers are explained. We also learn about an apocalyptic event called “The Rumbling,” which Eren triggers, and it’s up to his friends to stop him from wiping away all of humanity.

Attack on Titan is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
