Attack on Titan is set to launch a new murder-mystery themed board game adventure

The popular animanga series Attack on Titan has been completed for a while now, and yet the hype around it does not seem to die down. Recently, there has been news circulating about this franchise diving into a genre that no one was expecting from it. According to official news, it is confirmed that we are getting a brand new Attack on Titan-themed murder mystery board game. The information was announced by Studio Ozon, and they are a popular company known for releasing role-based mystery experiences.

This kind of collaboration seems perfect because the whole story of this series has built its foundation on tension, secrets, betrayal, and high-stakes survival. So a premise like this seems like a perfect setting for a mystery game. Currently, it has been a while since the main story wrapped, yet the world of Attack on Titan is not ready to lose its momentum.

There has been news that next year, fans in Japan will be getting an opportunity to revisit the remastered version of Attack on Titan: The Last Attack in theaters. This just continues to prove that the franchise still holds a powerful emotional grip on its audience. Now, with the arrival of Attack on Titan: Murder Mystery, the world that Isayama built will be seen in the format of a board game.

According to Studio Ozon, they have described these mystery games as interactive experiences where players will have to work together to uncover the truth behind a crime. There are also going to be some participants who will have to take on the role of the culprit, attempting to deceive everyone else.

If we look into their past collaborations with Tokyo Revengers and other franchises, we see that they not only know how to adapt anime settings into intense storytelling formats but also bring an immersive experience like no other. That is why bringing their expertise into Attack on Titan opens the door to countless narrative possibilities.

This game will have the original popular characters like Eren, Mikasa, Armin, and Levi living in a world where mystery shapes every step of their journey, from uncovering the origins of the Titans to navigating tensions between Marley and Paradis. A murder mystery game can tap into all of that rich lore and create scenarios never seen before.

Fan reaction: A mix of excitement, curiosity, and cautious optimism

Since the news of this new murder mystery game is out, the early reactions from the community are a combination of excitement and concern, and while both make sense, we just have to wait for the studio to release more information before there is a formal critique. Some common reactions are:

"This franchise is the best thing that has happened, and now that it's getting access to board games—it’s like both of my hobbies are combining for the best," said one fan.

"If the unresolved plot thread gets tied up here, that would be way too awesome." added another fan.

"As someone who likes both Attack on Titan and Madamis, this is pretty exciting, but isn't it tough to use the main characters as the player... Are they gonna make it feel like a spin-off or something?" said a netizen.

Currently, the main issue with this upcoming Attack on Titan game is that fans are hoping that the Studio does not mess with the original plot because if they did, then there is a high chance that it would not be relatable anymore, which would cause this hype to die.

What to expect from this Attack on Titan game?

For now, the studio has not revealed any further information on what fans should really look forward to, and it seems like they don't have to, as the name itself has attracted the fandom and has them eagerly waiting for more information. This is the best way to gain an audience for an interesting product. But the teaser does reveal one iconic line: “This world is cruel… and very beautiful.” This line alone has the fandom speculating that the game is going to hold on to the emotional and philosophical identity of the story.

The game will likely draw on:

Trending

• Investigations inside the Walls, where suspicion is a daily reality
• Political intrigue involving commanders, civilians, and hidden agendas
• Crimes tied to faction conflicts, such as Marley vs. Eldia or internal Scout Regiment disputes
• Untold side stories that explore the human cost of war

In the end, whether the playing experience ends up feeling like an immersive official side story or it is a standalone plot will all depend on the studio deciding on which characters are used. The decision to include or exclude main characters like Eren or Levi will end up shaping fan expectations significantly.
