The official SnK anime website has released a preview image for the 3rd episode of season 3, also episode 40 in the series, featuring Erwin!

The episode title will be “ 昔話 ” (Mukashibanashi), or “Old Folktale,” which does not correspond with the title of any chapter in the manga. Key staff members for this episode include Seko Hiroshi for screenplay, Morita Hiroyuki for storyboards, Hiramuki Tomoko as episode director, and Oosugi Naohiro, Yamamoto Yuko, + Chiba Takaaki as animation directors.

On NHK’s website, the list of episode titles revealed so far are:

38 (S3E1): 狼煙/Smoke Signal (Chapter 53)



39 (S3E2): 痛み/Pain (Chapter 55)



40 (S3E3): 昔話/Old Folktale (No corresponding chapter)



41 (S3E4): 信頼/Trust (Chapter 60)



42 (S3E5): 回答/Reply (Chapter 61)

Note: the titles do not necessarily mean that the episode will correspond exactly with the manga chapter. Case in point, episode 38 was titled the same as 53 but included scenes from chapters 51-57 and 90.
