Attack on Titan fans have been buzzing the last week about season four and its big release today. After all, netizens believed the show was going to end with episode 87, but it turns out there is more to the show than we thought. A third part of season four is slated to go live next year, and fans are freaking out over the much-wanted expansion.
For those needing some more context, Attack on Titan confirmed it will debut a handful of new episodes in 2023. They will comprise the third and final part of season four, so this should be it for the hit anime. Its 2023 conclusion will bring Attack on Titan full circle as season one went live in 2013, so you can appreciate the symmetry here.

As you can see below, fans are geeking out about the extension, but few are surprised by the update. It was just a matter of time before an update was given. Attack on Titan season four has been met with universal praise thanks to MAPPA’s pacing and animation. However, as the season’s second half went on, fans realized its allotted episodes would not cover the entirety of Hajime Isayama’s manga. The show is too big to leave hanging, so fans knew something had to be in the works for season four, and they were right.
