Update: Crunchyroll writes that the anime's official Twitter account confirms "even more episodes," although the original announcement only specified "Episode 76."

One part of the anime's official website lists the announcement video as "TV Anime Attack on Titan The Final Season Part 2 special video," but not elsewhere on the site or in the video itself.

Lead voice actress Yui Ishikawa (Mikasa) posted (and the official anime account Retweeted) on Twitter that "the TV Anime Attack on Titan The Final Season continues (Episode 76 "Sentencing" ~), slated to air 'this coming winter' on NHK General!"

Update 3: Crunchyroll has updated its article to remove any mention of "Part 2."

The anime's official website updated to list "TV Anime Attack on Titan The Final Season Part 2 (Episode 76 "Sentencing" ~)."
