The Attack on Titan franchise, known for its gripping storylines and unexpected twists, has once again managed to keep its fans on the edge of their seats. Even years after its conclusion, both the manga and anime have left a lasting impact on fans worldwide. With the series now preparing to celebrate a major milestone, a new wave of excitement is brewing among its dedicated followers.
It has been a few years since the Attack on Titan manga concluded, and not too long ago, Eren Yeager’s tumultuous journey came to a dramatic close on our screens. Despite these closures, the legacy of Attack on Titan continues to thrive. In fact, the franchise is set to commemorate its 15th anniversary with a surprise announcement, adding yet another chapter to its storied history.
The announcement of this new project comes from the Attack on Titan team through social media. Fans were thrilled to learn that on September 9th, a special project would be unveiled, aligning with the manga’s anniversary. For those who may not remember, Attack on Titan first debuted under Kodansha in September 2009. Since then, it has grown from a cult hit into a global phenomenon, influencing countless other works and building a massive fanbase along the way.
As of now, the specifics of this new project remain shrouded in mystery. The only hint provided by the team stated, “On September 9, Attack on Titan will celebrate its 15th anniversary since its manga serialization began! To celebrate the anniversary, we will announce a new project that readers can enjoy together, so please look forward to it!” This cryptic message has sparked endless speculation among fans, with theories ranging from a new art book to a bonus manga chapter. Some are even hoping for a more ambitious project, such as a spin-off series or a special anime episode.
However, fans should temper their expectations. The series’ creator, Hajime Isayama, has been enjoying a well-deserved semi-retirement since ending the manga three years ago. While there is always the possibility that Isayama could contribute to this anniversary project, there’s little evidence to suggest that he plans to return for a significant undertaking. Nonetheless, given the passion of the Attack on Titan fandom, even a minor addition to the universe would undoubtedly be met with enthusiasm and appreciation.

As the anniversary approaches, fans around the world are eagerly awaiting September 9th, hoping to catch a glimpse of what the franchise has in store next. No matter the scale of the project, this celebration will be a testament to the enduring impact of Attack on Titan and its place in the hearts of its fans.
As we count down the days to the announcement, one thing remains clear: Attack on Titan may have retired, but its spirit lives on, continuing to surprise and engage fans, just as it always has.
