9 September is now officially Attack on Titan Day: the date on which the first chapter appeared in Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in 2009 has been registered as an official anniversary by the Japanese Anniversary Association.

The first edition is being marked with a livestream on 9 September 2026 at 21.30 Japanese time, presented by voice actors Yūki Kaji (Eren), Yui Ishikawa (Mikasa) and Hiro Shimono (Connie). Also announced are 99 hours of free access to the manga, new artwork by Hajime Isayama and special merchandise.

Wit Studio, the studio behind the first three seasons, teased an announcement in mid-August with an enigmatic visual of six characters at a laid table. Many fans hoped for a new animation production.

It turned out to be a themed café in Japan — Attack on Titan Café: A Teenage Dinner — open from 3 September to 12 October 2026, with dishes, merchandise and illustrations made specially for the occasion.

In 2024 Kodansha Creators' Lab launched a contest for an official Attack on Titan mode on Roblox, partly intended to replace the many unauthorised fan versions. Studio Twin Atlas won.

A beta version was playable at Tokyo Game Show 2025; in June 2026 Attack on Titan: Guardians RP followed, in which you create your own soldier, use ODM gear and defend Paradis.

Attack on Titan: The Last Attack joins the two Final Chapters specials into a single film of just over two hours, with the sound remixed for the cinema.

The film ran in Japan in late 2024 and internationally in early 2025, and is identical in content to the two television specials. Anyone who has already seen those misses nothing of the story.
