Koei Tecmo has revealed some new online details for its Attack on Titan game releasing on Aug. 30, including Scout Mode and additional gameplay mechanics.
Scout Mode allows players to recruit up to three companions online to venture outside the wall and face Titans together. Players start at the camp where team members are able to upgrade their gear, change their costumes and prepare resources for an upcoming onslaught.
The leader of the group is able to choose from a wide selection of missions taking place across a variety of different stages, including the Forest of Giant Trees, the Ruined Town, a Farm Village and even the Stohess District. These missions, separate from the main campaign, offer further action-packed events to face as a team.
If you’re wondering about how to upgrade your gear, you can enhance blades, omni-directional mobility gear and gas canisters. Simply kill Titans and pick up materials found in single-player and multiplayer missions.
Use these materials to make enhancements to the Omni-Directional Mobility Gear, which includes improved anchors, allowing them to attach onto Titans from a greater distance and at faster speeds. Blades can be sharpened, as well as improved to become longer and more durable, with scabbard upgrades allowing additional blades and gas canisters to be carried. It is important for players to enhance their equipment to perform more effectively on the battlefield.
