Summary
Attack on Titan VR: Unbreakable, a new virtual reality game set in the universe of the popular manga series is scheduled to enter its early access stage later this year, allowing interested players to start experiencing the apocalyptic world ofShingeki no Kyojinfrom a new type of first-person perspective. In the franchise, humanity is forced to live inside cities protected by gargantuan walls that keep giant monsters, known as Titans, from entering and eating its inhabitants. In addition to the walls, the cities also count on the protection of a military force that is trained to exterminate these Titans.
These titan hunters often depart on expeditions and are summoned to protect the city when there are breaches in the walls.

However,Attack on Titan VR: Unbreakableseems to be set to break the mold and offer a first-person perspective experience using VR technology to enhance immersion. With the title’s early access period starting soon, prospective players should get ready.

The Period Will Give Players Access To The First Two Chapters
The early access period for the new virtual reality game will offer players a limited experience that will be expanded upon in the title’s definitive release later this year.Those who purchase the early access version will be able to play through Chapters 1 and 2ofAttack on Titan VR: Unbreakable. According to the studio, each of these chapters will offer players between two to three hours of gameplay, though it is uncertain if these chapters can be challenged more than once. This is the initial early access period, however, as more chapters are expected to be released.
According to the studio’s roadmap, more chapters and the game’s coop mode will also have an early access period later on, though details, for now, are still scarce. Both the upcoming early access period andthe game’s final version will have support for both English and Japanese voice acting, as well as subtitles. The voice actors for both languages are expected to reprise their roles inAttack on Titan VR: Unbreakable, though the exact characters that will appear are still somewhat unconfirmed. As seen in key art for the game, the Armored Titan is expected to make an appearance.
It is unknown if the main characters like Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Levi, or others will make an appearance, as they have not yet been showcased in any piece of promotional material, including trailers.

Attack On Titan VR: Unbreakable - Gameplay Details
The Player’s Main Goal Will Be To Eliminate The Invading Titans By Hitting Them In Their Weak Spot
The upcoming title will be a platforming VR game that puts players in control of a Titan hunter in the cities protected by the walls. The game seems to be set entirely within the confines of the cities, in fact and will challenge players with Titans that have breached the cities’ protection, much like in the manga and the anime series. The main goal inAttack on Titan VR: Unbreakablewill be totraverse the locations using the franchise’s Omni-Directional Mobility (ODM) Gearto zipline across districts and neutralize threats. Of course, players will use weapons, too.
While the ODM grants them enhanced maneuverability and speed to not only reach faraway areas but also dodge incoming attacks, members of the regiment use their traditional dual blades to carve away at Titans. Reflective of how they are portrayed in the manga and anime, theTitans’ weak spots are usually the back of their necks, so the quickest way to eliminate them will be to move around them until there is an opening to strike them and take them down. InAttack on Titan VR: Unbreakable, players will also be able to hit other parts of the invading Titans.
It is possible, for instance, to cut off a Titan’s arm, which reduces the threat level they pose, or even their legs, which could make them stumble and create an easy means of striking their neck. The difficulty involved with eliminating Titans should increase as players progress through the story but, to accompany that growing challenge,players will also unlock new and stronger blades, as well as firearms to use against the enemies. They will also get new skills and abilities, which should aid them in their efforts while playingAttack on Titan VR: Unbreakable.
A pair of black and red serrated blades can be seen in the trailer, for example.
It is uncertain if specific minutia for the gear will be translated into gameplay. The ODM, for instance, tends to run on a gas mechanism that needs fueling. For now, it is unclear if the gas for the ODM will run out and if players will need to keep an eye out for how much they consume – and possibly even refuel to continue their Titan-eliminating mission.It is also unconfirmed if the regular pair of ultrahard steel blades inAttack on Titan VR: Unbreakablewill have the disposable sectionsas they do in the original material.
For reference, the standard blades used by the regiment are somewhat like box cutter blades, which can be broken off into sections.
The game seems to narrow in on the early stages of the story, so theending ofAttack on Titanshould not be portrayed in the upcoming game. The main focus seems to be on using the traversal mechanics in virtual reality to experience Titan-slaying from a more immersive standpoint.
Levi’s Most Difficult Choice Saved Attack on Titan, & I Can Prove it
One of Attack on Titan’s most controversial topics is who Levi should have chosen to revive with the Titan serum, and I feel the answer is clear.
As challenges get tougher, players will have to adapt and use the new gear at their disposal and their expertise with the ODM to surpass them. While early access starts in July, more details about the game, its next chapters, and its coop mode should be shared leading up to the official release ofAttack on Titan VR: Unbreakable.
