A sequel to The World Ends with You has been announced for Switch, PS4

Square Enix has announced a sequel to 2012 Nintendo DS RPG The World Ends with you.

Neo: The World Ends with You will be released for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in Summer 2021, the publisher announced on Monday.

Like the original game, Neo takes place on the streets of Shibuya, Tokyo, where players will take part in the ‘Reapers’ Game,’ a life-or-death battle for survival.

Players will take on the role of Rindo as they attempt to uncover the mysteries behind the game they’ve been forced to take part in, Square Enix said.

“Neo: The World Ends with You brings a re-creation of modern Shibuya to life in a unique and comic-inspired style,” it said.

“Players can explore and enjoy the sights, sounds, and culture of this bustling city, fight monsters alongside their ally companions in fast-paced action battles, and complete missions as they seek to change the fate they’ve been handed.

“A new trailer unveiled today provides a first look at the title, showcasing the hip visual direction, 3D environments, gameplay and battle sequences, and amped-up soundtrack underscoring the game’s eye-catching art style.”

The series’ last release was an enhanced port for Nintendo Switch, The World Ends with You: Final Remix, which came out in 2018.
