Fans saw the last episode of the first season of "Attack on Titan" in 2014 and they are now looking forward to the release of a new season. So far, the production has not yet released official details regarding its release date, but several rumors suggest that it will be ready before the year ends.

Plans for "Attack on Titan" season 2 have been reportedly put on hold because Wit Studio is said to have directed its focus towards another anime series, "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress." However, a lineup of projects from the studio has been posted by Twitter user @Shonen_lord and it showed that "Attack on Titan" season 2 is part of it and listed as a 2016 release.

An exact release date was not indicated, but rumors suggest that "Attack on Titan" will return in the summer, which is only a few months away. As to what the upcoming season will bring to the audience, speculations suggest that the show will focus more on the beginnings of the titans.

In addition, reports mentioned that the second season will highlight the Survey Corps and the breakdown of the Wall Sina, which should also shed some light on the history of the Titans.

There were also rumors stating that season 2 will deviate from the manga storylines, but according to MoviePilot, evidence suggests otherwise. A scene from season 2 was reportedly leaked and it gave viewers an idea of what the series will feature next.

At the end of season 1, it was revealed that dead titans are hiding inside the walls. The political situation at Shiganshina District is believed to be explored since the characters have figured out that there could be a conspiracy between the government and the titans.

It is also expected that fighting the titans won't just happen within the walls, but beyond it, as the characters will go on a journey to the countryside.

In the meantime, readers should take the reports with a grain of salt until the production gives the official announcement.
