Complications cause delay for Europe

Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chainsappears to be having some difficulty coming to Europe, as a copyright claim has forced Atlus to rename the game and delay its release.

The publisher didn’t provide specifics on when we can expect to see the Nintendo 3DS action game launch in PAL territories, only stating “we’re shooting for as soon as possible.”

Whenever it does arrive, the title will be going by its Japanese moniker,Shingeki no Kyojin (Advancing Giants), instead of the westernized name you’re likely more familiar with.

It’s difficult to place blame with Atlus here, but this development seems unlikely to do any favors for the studio, given it already has a rocky relationship with European fans.

Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chainsis still targeting a May 12 launch in North America.
