After a long drought spent wondering when Square Enix would show a crumb of attention to fans of their 2007 action RPG hit, The World Ends With You is finally getting a sequel.
Announced via YouTube, NEO: The World Ends With You returns to the streets of Shibuya featuring all new protagonists and a fully 3D battle system.
In The World Ends With You, players controlled Neku Sakuraba, a recently deceased teenager brought to the mysterious world of the Underground and forced to play the Reapers’ Game in order win back his life. In NEO: The World Ends With You, players will control Rindo, a newcomer to the Reapers’ Game, and together with a new group of friends, they will fight to save their lives.
NEO: The World Ends With You heads to the Nintendo Switch and, curiously, the PS4 Summer 2021
Oh man, I can already tell I’m going to dislike the female protag, which is annoying because part of what made TWEWY amazing was the great characters
I thought the female lead couldn’t possibly be that bad until I watched the video.
That’s some awful, over the top voice acting. With any luck the English version is better.
I hope so. I’m not a fan of the whiny female stereotype. I really liked Shiki and her character.
