I've been hearing/reading a lot of news about a second season of Shingeki no
Kyojin since 2014. All the sites said that the release date would be in the
end of 2015 or the first months of 2016.  
We're in 2016 and there's still no season 2.

Is there any official source about a accurate release date? If so, what's the
exact date?

Has the release date of Shingeki no Kyojin's second season been announced?


Unfortunately right now, **No there is not an official source with a release
date for the second season** and as a result there is no exact date (as of
yet).

A post on [Cross Map, ](http://www.crossmap.com/news/attack-on-titan-
season-2-spoilers-release-date-rumors-news-updates-24210) **_an unofficial
source_** , (By Yumi Redfield On January 17, 2016) explains that:

> There have been rumors claiming that Attack on Titan season 2 will be
> released in February, but it is already mid-January, and still no
> confirmation for an Attack on Titan season 2 has been released by Tetsuro
> Araki, the Attack on Titan director.

A given ( ** _unofficial_** ) explanation is:

> The major reason why Attack on Titan season 2 has taken years to release is
> because of the (very well thought of) agreement between Attack on Titan
> manga writer Hajime Isayama and the Attack on Titan anime director Tetsuro
> Araki that the manga should always be 4 arcs ahead of the anime adaptation.
> This agreement would ensure that the anime would not get ahead of the manga
> and end up deviating too much from the source material.

So, that means the 1st episode of season 2 should be released around the
beginning of April 2017.
