New ‘Attack on Titan’ Release Officially Delayed Indefinitely
Kodansha USA has indefinitely postponed the planned Attack on Titan Definitive Edition, a premium hardcover re-release of the manga. The publisher says the project has not been cancelled, but a production issue has delayed the entire release, leaving fans without a revised date.
Originally announced for spring 2026, the edition was later listed for 1 December 2026 at $54.99. It was expected to combine volumes one to three in a faux-leather, gold-foiled, library-bound format with colour pages not included in the Japanese edition; these volumes cover the story’s opening arcs.

Attack on Titan is a Japanese manga series by Hajime Isayama, set in a world where people live behind enormous walls to protect themselves from man-eating Titans. The story follows Eren Yeager and others as they join the military and investigate the threat beyond the walls.
Kodansha is the publisher of the series in English. A definitive edition is a new, premium-format collection of existing material; this one was planned to gather the first three volumes, which introduce the setting and early story. Such a release can offer readers a durable way to collect the manga, while its uncertain timing leaves prospective buyers without a clear date.
