Source-derived summary

Attack on Titan 2 (Japanese: 進撃の巨人 2, Hepburn: Shingeki no Kyojin 2), known in PAL regions as A.O.T. 2, is a 2018 hack and slash video game developed by Omega Force and published by Koei Tecmo as a sequel to their 2016 game. It is based on Hajime Isayama's manga series Attack on Titan. It was released for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Windows and Xbox One, with a port to Stadia releasing the following year. A sequel, Attack on Titan 3, was announced in June 2026 and will be published on 10 December 2026.

Plot

The game covers the plot of the first 50 chapters of Attack on Titan (also covered by the first two seasons of the anime adaptation).

The player primarily experiences major events of the series through an original custom character who fights and interacts with characters of the manga. As a child, the player's character joins the 104th Cadet Corp, intending to slay the Armored Titan for killing their parents during the breach of Wall Maria.

The last mission of the base game has an original ending, non-canonical to both the anime and manga.

The DLC "Final Battle" covers chapters 51 to 90 of the manga (also covered by the third season of the anime).

Gameplay

The game features cel-shaded graphics, fast-paced aerial combat, and also features the player defeating the titans in large, open areas.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Attack on Titan 2” is 2018 video game. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Attack, Titan and video, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2018, 2016, 2026—that can be checked directly. The authority record carries competing date values—2018-03-15, 2018-03-20—which should remain separate until their references and qualifiers are resolved. For this dossier, Attack, Titan and video is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “2018 video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q48802738. None of the 5 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2018, 2016 and 2026.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
