With the release of Attack on Titan 2 now just days away, Koei Tecmo have uploaded a pre-launch video.

Hosted by the game’s producer, Hisashi Koinuma, the hour-long video also features the anime’s voice actors Hiro Shimono (who voices Conny Springer) and Yui Ishikawa (who voices Mikasa Ackerman) playing through the game with a customised character and talking about some of the features. As well as wearing the uniforms of their respective characters from the show, they also both compete against each other in the game’s Annihilation Mode.

The video was originally streamed live on Koei Tecmo’s Japanese YouTube page. It has now been uploaded on their US and European YouTube pages with English subtitles. A list of the highlights (and if you just want to skip to them):

5:24 – The opening trailer.
6:45 – Producer Koinuma turns into a Titan.
