Due to it being a sequel to the anime, this brings into question what exactly the game will carry over? How much of the secret ending featured in The World Ends with You: Final Remix, A New Day, be present? Will other things be changed for the adaptation? Or is it a simple modernization? What's the story in NEO: The World Ends with You? The anime also features smartphones and other technological advances that have occurred in the time since the original game. The game takes place three years after the events of the anime.īasing it off the anime canon rather than the game makes sense. 'The game that will be the sequel to the anime that will be aired in April next year will be next summer,' Nomura says in the tweet. This was confirmed by Tetsuya Nomura via The World Ends with You anime Twitter account. Yes and no! NEO: The World Ends with You isn't a sequel to the World Ends With You video game, but one to the anime, which airs in April 2021. Perhaps Neku has survived as an undetected figure in the world who is neither Reaper nor Player? Is NEO: The World Ends with You a sequel? Though his face is obstructed, Rindo calls him Neku. The trailer concludes with a hooded figure fighting Tsugumi. It seems there will also be some degree of time travel involved with the new game. You can fight other players and new noise types. The trailer provides a better look at gameplay, which seems to draw from recent Square Enix projects by placing combat in a 3D arena. The blonde man named Shiba is the current Game’s Master, so perhaps he’ll be the final boss in the new game. They’re all in a group called Wicked Twister. Rindo, Fret, Nagi, and Minamimoto are the main team we follow in this game. Minamimoto also appears to be a player this time around, unlike the first game, where he was part of the antagonist faction, the Reapers. This trio seems to be the new group of players in the Reaper's Game that they're playing to survive. In addition to old reliables, there are new characters like Rindo, Fret, and Nagi. She’s on the Ruinbringers, who seem like the top team in the new Reaper’s Game.Ĭoco, the bratty child Reaper who manned a few shops in the first game has been aged up for the sequel. Her name is revealed as Tsugumi Matsunae. We can also see characters from the first game like Sho Minamimoto, Koki Kariya, and the enigmatic girl with blonde hair who was featured in both the game's Switch port. For example, characters are seen using smartphones and an equivalent to the Japanese messaging service, Line. There are a few technological advances on display here too.

Classic locations like the 104 building and Tower Records will return. Players seem to have the ability to freely roam Shibuya in a manner similar to Persona 5. The presentation has changed from 2D to 3D. One stand-out change evident from the trailer is the gameplay.
