Humanity’s last stand is getting one more big-screen roar. Attack on Titan: The Final Chapter — THE LAST ATTACK will return to cinemas in January 2026, beginning with a limited Dolby Cinema engagement in Japan on January 9, followed by a wider standard rerelease starting January 16. The revival features a new 4K HDR remaster and Dolby Atmos mix overseen by the film’s creative leads, promising the sharpest, loudest version of the finale to date.
What’s being rereleased?
The omnibus film compiles the anime’s concluding chapters into a single theatrical experience—showcasing the Rumbling, Eren’s final gambit, and the coalition’s last push—in upgraded picture and sound. For the franchise, this marks the first Dolby Cinema presentation, with the premium screenings debuting one week ahead of the nationwide run.
Why now?
A year on from its 2024 Japanese premiere and 2025 international rollout, demand has stayed colossal. The rerelease gives fans a definitive way to relive the finale and introduces newcomers to a unified, polished cut that plays like a blockbuster war drama. Trade updates frame the January return as both a celebration lap and a technical showcase for the remaster.
Key dates & formats
- January 9, 2026 (Japan): Limited Dolby Cinema 4K HDR / Dolby Atmos screenings.
- January 16, 2026 (Japan): Standard 2D theatrical rerelease across the country.
(International encore dates haven’t been announced yet; the 2025 run covered the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and other regions, suggesting more locales could follow.)
What to expect in theaters
The remaster emphasizes large-format immersion—towering Titans, city-level devastation, and the series’ thunderous score—while preserving the film’s added connective tissue that smooths the transition from the TV broadcasts to a one-sit experience. For long-time viewers, it’s a chance to absorb character send-offs and moral reckonings on an outsized canvas; for first-timers, it functions as a concentrated finale tour.
