Square Enix’s action RPG The World Ends with You launched for the Nintendo DS in 2007, and was met with strong universal critical acclaim. Though not exactly the publisher’s most high profile property, TWEWY has a strong and dedicated fanbase that’s been asking for a sequel for years, though up until now, there hasn’t been much to pin our hopes on other than some re-releases.
Well, after over a decade of waiting, that sequel has finally been announced. Following recent teases, Square Enix have announced NEO: The World Ends with You, a new game in the series that will see players exploring Shibuya once again (this time in 3D), as new protagonist Rindou takes part in the deadly “Grim Reaper’s Game”. Check out its announcement trailer below- it’s in Japanese, so you might not understand much, but it shows plenty of glimpses of gameplay, as well as brief introductions of the main characters.
NEO: The World Ends with You will launch in Japan for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch in Summer 2021. It’s not yet known when or if the game will launch in the West- and if it does, whether it will have the same name. Stay tuned for more updates.
