Koei Tecmo has announced some of the new features in upcoming sequel A.O.T. 2 (that stands for Attack on Titan 2, abbreviation fans) when the game launches in March, including new ways to take down your massive adversaries.

Headlining the additions are new Buddy Actions, which offer support options from other members of your team, with rescue and recovery options and, most intriguingly, an ability called Titan Transformation, which is said to offer ‘a team member the potential to unlock the power of Titans.’ We presume that means turn into one.

In addition, Scouts will be able to use stealth to get the drop on their massive targets, offering them powerful advantages as long as they can remain undetected by avoiding the Titan prey’s field of vision. They’ll also be able to use flash grenades to give them an advantage in this regard.

Finally, you’ll be able to replenish your supplies at bases, which will also offer sanctuary with automated turrets and artillery that will attack any approaching Titans on sight. Here’s a video showcasing some of these new features in action:

A.O.T. 2 is set to launch for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC via Steam in March 2018.
