Square Enix confirms Neo The World Ends with You PC release with new trailer

RPG sequel will release in July

Square Enix has set a firm date for Neo The World Ends with You, the sequel to the 2007 Nintendo DS RPG.

The follow-up will release on July 27 for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC via the Epic Games Store, the publisher confirmed on Friday alongside a new trailer.

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.”

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