The film will be 145 minutes long with polished visuals, as compared to the finale season, and a 5.1 surround system that uses different channels to create a better sound. All of this was done to create a proper setting for the cinema airing of Attack on Titan: The Final Chapter -The Last Attack.

The ending song of the second episode of the FINAL CHAPTERS special, titled Nisennen.. Moshiku wa.. Nimannengo no Kimi e, performed by Linked Horizon, will be used as the film's theme song.

Yuuichirou Hayashi, one of the most influential directors of Attack on Titan, shared his views on why Attack on Titan: The Final Chapter -The Last Attack became a reality. The director explained that the FINAL CHAPTERS special was designed to be a single film from its early days. However, this wasn't possible due to unknown reasons.

Hayashi stated that he wanted the audience to experience 'Rumbling' in its best form, and that could only be possible through a cinema airing, which was the reason why this project was announced in the first place. The key staff members from the previous season will be returning to compose this Attack on Titan compilation film.
