'Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains' Release Date News: Gameplay Trailer Released, Highlights Characters [VIDEO]

Atlus has released a full trailer for their highly anticipated 'Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains,' video game for the Nintendo 3DS.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the release of the title, not only for the game's enjoyable appeal, but it's the first official video game for the insanely popular anime.

The trailer released focuses on the characters that will be featured in the game. Fans of the anime series should find them all familiar, as the game plans to follow the anime's retelling. It has also been revealed that a number of characters will be available for gameplay, according to developer Michael Manzanares.

"In 'Humanity in Chains', you'll not only play through pivotal moments from the first season of the anime, you'll do so as multiple characters, including Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Levi and Sasha -- though it'll be important to pick just the right one. 'Every character handles differently', Manzanares explained. 'For instance, Eren's the only one who can transform into a Titan, while such powerful soldiers as Mikasa and Levi have an easier time performing critical hits on Titans unlike, say, Armin or Sasha, who are better in supporting roles'," writes CBR.

On a side note, players will even get to make their own characters.

"Every facet of your character can be upgraded. But while there are such vanity options as costumes, faces and voice sets, when adventuring out in the world, you'll need to be mindful of your personal melee strength, ranged accuracy and maneuverability, as well as your weapons and omni-directional mobility gear upgrades. And that doesn't even include upgrading your facilities in town to be the best you can be. You can even unlock voices and costumes to recreate your favorite Scout Regiment member," states Manzanares.

'Humanity in Chains' is set for release on May 12th.
