Square Enix released a trailer for NEO: The World Ends With You, announcing the release date. The game will be released on July 27 2021 su Nintendo Switch e PlayStation 4while on PC (viaEpic Games Store), will arrive later this year.
The trailer shows several factions and their respective characters who will be present: Ruinbringers, Deep Rivers Society, Variabeautis e Purehearts. The game will have several playable characters, to whom it will be possible to equip pins that will give powerful special abilities. The combat system will be in real time and the player will have a party consisting of 4 characters. The video shows that it will also be possible to perform long aerial combos. There will also be an equipment system to manage.
The title is the sequel to The World Ends With You (originally released on Nintendo DS), more precisely of its anime adaptation. The story of the new protagonist will follow Rindo, which will be found in the Game of the Reaper, in Shibuya. Characters from the first chapter will also return, such as Sho Minamimoto (which will be playable) e Koki Karya.
This time the game will be in 3D and you can explore Tokyo. The graphic style and character design (edited by Tetsuya Nomura) is evidently inspired by anime and seems at first glance rather original. Recall that the previous chapter was in 2D and fully exploited the touch controls of the Nintendo handheld console. The title has also undergone porting up mobile devices and Nintendo Switch.
Also, one is available for purchase merchandise set of the title at $ 89.99. The package contains a pin of the protagonist and one of the pins that give the powers in the game, the plush of a black cat and two bags, one female and one male.
We just have to wait for the release date of the sequel, hoping it is at least at same quality level of its predecessor. At least, following the announcement of the release date of NEO: The World Ends With You, we know how long we'll have to wait.
