Attack on Titan Announces Fourth and Final Season

It looks like the end is near for Attack on Titan. As the manga nears its final chapter, the story of Eren Jaeger is drawing closer to its last call by the day. And thanks to a brand-new announcement, it seems the end is coming for even the anime.

Yes, that’s right. The final season of Attack on Titan has been announced, and it will be here before fans know it.

Today, the final episode of Attack on Titan season three went live. It was there fans got the news that Attack on Titan would be coming to an end starting in 2020 as its final season would go live. As you can see below, a teaser was added to the season three finale which confirmed the show’s “final season” would debut in Fall 2020.

So far, there is no word on who will oversee this final season, but fans are still hopeful WIT Studio will be on board. The company has been producing the anime since day one, but rumors popped up earlier this year that WIT Studio would separated from Attack on Titan after seaon three. No update has been given on any official production shift, so fans are keeping their fans crossed for the best.

As for season three, this latest outing of Attack on Titan has helped cement the anime’s place in history. After a stellar first season, the show did so-so in season two following a rather long hiatus. Now, season three has helped revive the hype surrounding Attack on Titan, so here’s to hoping season four can bring the show home with justice.
