Hey everyone, since Update 1 is released we wanted to let you all know the plans for Update 2, the new features that will be coming, updates to the server and development, as well as our planned release date for Update 2.

Now I have said that we would be having a community vote between Multiplayer and Titans, however, we started testing on Multiplayer implementation and we were able to get very good progress with it in a short amount of time. That and due to how difficult it would be to go with Titans first, and then eventually reprogram them to fit into multiplayer, the development team and I have decided that Update 2 will first be Multiplayer. Titans will come with Update 3

So here will be the main big features for Update 2:

• Multiplayer: We plan for around 8-16 player lobbies which will span along 3 different maps

• 2 new maps + dedicated main menu: The main location for the show, Trost District will be one of our main focus with hundreds of differently styled buildings. Along with Trost we will be creating the Crystal Caves, a good map designed for PvP. We will also have a dedicated main menu rather than it being on a board in the middle of the forest.

• PvP: Coming along with multiplayer will be PvP with different game modes and different matchups such as ODM vs APG, ODM vs ODM, APG vs APG, and ODM vs Titan Shifter

• Titan Shifting: Now this is an early concept and will be fleshed out with Update 3’s titan update, but we will give the players the ability to turn into the Female Titan. Gameplay will revolve around players working together and strategizing ways to take the Female Titan down

• 10 new characters: For the male side, we have Erwin, Marco, Kenny, Mike, and Moblit. For the female side, we have Hanji, Rico, Mina, Hitch, and Caven (Kenny’s female colleague)

• Updated graphics: We will be redoing the environment, mainly replacing the graphics from flat toon shading to stylized textures going along with the anime’s art style.

Now we have been pretty bad with release dates and deadlines, though with the great progress we have made in the last few weeks, our ideal deadline is near the end of 2021.

Now regarding development, we will have a new system where users can gain access to development builds and cool special cosmetics.

Users can donate a minimum of 1 dollar a month to my Patreon with the money being used to pay for Multiplayer servers, boost the discord server, or be active enough in the server to get the Commander role for your designated branch (Survey Corp, Garrison, Military Police, Recruits).

Donating, Boosting, or getting the role of Commander will let you unlock access to dev builds for as long as you have the role, as well as permanently unlocking special cosmetics based on your role.

Commanders will be chosen near the end of each month.
For donating to patreon, make sure you have your Discord username in your profile to make it easier for me to give you access to dev builds. If not then make sure to DM with your Patreon name.

You can donate up to any amount you like and the minimum is a dollar a month: Link to the patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Yu_Ro
