NEO: The World Ends With You announced to release Summer 2021

Thirteen years ago, the cult classic The World Ends With You (JPN: すばらしきこのせかい Subarashiki Kono Sekai trans. It's a Wonderful World) released on the Nintendo DS in Japan to critical acclaim. It has spawned an iOS/Android remake in 2012 with a special teaser featuring a brand new character hinting towards a continuation of the series, a now-defunct free-to-play mobile game, a Nintendo Switch port in 2018 that added a brand new chapter called "A New Day" which further teased a continuation of the TWEWY franchise, and an anime coming in 2021. 

Despite the countless album releases with brand new remixes of classic hits, an abundance of new merchandise, even the formation of a band named after the infamous Def Märch (JPN: Death March) from the game, the announcement of the next installment continued to elude us.

That is, until now.

Square Enix has announced NEO: The World Ends With You for release on the Nintendo Switch and PS4 in Summer 2021.

Follow Kingdom Hearts Insider on Facebook and Twitter for the latest updates on The World Ends With You, the rumored Kingdom Hearts Disney Plus series, Kingdom Hearts Union χ [Cross], Kingdom Hearts Dark Road, Kingdom Hearts 3 and all things Kingdom Hearts!

On one hand I definitely want them to stop that bs of putting it in KH to make it catch on, but on the other hand there is that part of me that still wants to see Sora and Riku go to Shibuya at some point so I'd be happy for a crossover again, but only if TWEWY is also allowed to stand on its own and be what it is.

I feel like Neo: TWEWY is gonna be the new mainline of TWEWY and this will be the staple gameplay to make it a franchise

Also:

The Neo cast is just Zennial TWEWY :v

I wonder why PS4 though,

This is just my Marketing side speaking, but it's possible that Square Enix's Marketing re-examined TWEWY as a brand. That would entail a plan, meaning that they must have enlisted a couple of objectives, and I'm sure one of them was "broaden audience" (get to more people).

This is where the Animé comes into play and the decision to make Neo multiplat instead of just Switch exclusive, even though the franchise has been loyal to Nintendo machines (NDS, NS).

With that said, it's possible that Square has high-hopes for TWEWY as a brand and Neo and the Animé may just be a part of what could be a rich future for the series.

Edit:

Also, THEORY TIME!

Tsugumi has red-eyes. I presume she's being controlled by a Red Pin. Question is: who and why?

Also, "Tsugumi" means "thrush" which is... "Thrush (oropharyngeal candidiasis) is a medical condition in which a yeast-like fungus called Candida albicans overgrows in the mouth and throat. Thrush may be triggered to occur by a variety of factors, including illness, pregnancy, medications, smoking, or dentures.". Her condition? Dead. Fungus in the mouth and throat? Someone controlling her via the Red Pin.

"Matsunae" seems to be the combination of something with "seedling". There are some plant metaphors with this girl.

Would you look at that. I guess it’s because I watched the trailer on that new site than YT, so I didn’t see any English text except romanized names in the background. Nice to know her identity, even if I’m late to the party.

From a marketing standpoint, yeah, that makes sense. TWEWY may not be the benchmark of jRPGs, but it’s a reasonable success that could yield a lot of profit if capitalized properly. I respect that.

TWEWY doesn't need to grow very big, just big enough to be able to stand on its own legs. I feel like the Animé, 3D visuals, voice-acting and Action RPG are gonna elevate it from niche-ish to something on par with mainstream, or just plain mainstream.

I definitely feel like TWEWY has made a very smooth transition from sprites to full 3D models. I like the changes they've made to the art style without straying too far from the original. Rindo certainly intrigues me as the new protagonist.

Minamimoto is playable...does that mean that they might acknowledge what happened in "A New Day" alongside the anime? Okay now I want the final boss to be Neku.

Forgive me for saying this but…

Ew! Where the hell did they grow up in, under a rock with the mosses? What education did they receive that they can’t even tell that?

I know that sounded snobby but any two-bit B-grade middle school student can tell Shibuya is a real place, hell, at least know that Tokyo is the capital of Japan.

Okay, rant over. Happy gaming, TWEWY fans!

Yeah, even the gameplay feels like a natural evolution of TWEWY's system rather than something different.

Judging by the fact that Neo is a sequel to the Animé: yes, I believe so.

me neither. 70% of me was expecting more sprites, while the other 30% was open to 3D (just that I wasn't expecting it so soon).

Personally, I'm not getting P5 vibes. They're both 3D games, but the styles are veeeeeeeeeeery different.

Same here. Was expecting to play as Neku in Shinjuku.

'm also curious about their relationship to the Reapers, seems a tad bit less antagonistic than last time.

Well, maybe they're not full-on antagonistic, but just villainy on their own terms.

Yeah I was expecting it to be in the same style as Solo Mix, but this works well too. Though I'll miss the sprites especially for the noise, they're not quite the same in 3D.

Ballad of Caius

Personally, I'm not getting P5 vibes. They're both 3D games, but the styles are veeeeeeeeeeery different.

Honestly most things that give me P5 vibes are things that were already in the original game. Like it's stylized urban presentation in the UI, the simplified presentation of other people and anime-esque models. But the association probably comes from me not having been exposed to that many AA games.

Ballad of Caius

Same here. Was expecting to play as Neku in Shinjuku.

Yep, same here. I'm expecting the Anime might explain why we're still in Shibuya.

Ballad of Caius

Well, maybe they're not full-on antagonistic, but just villainy on their own terms.

Hm yeah, honestly hard to tell from just the trailers. But it I got the vibe that they're more like Gym Leaders there to challenge players than how they used to be, where they aimed to erase them. Might just be a false impression though.

Ballad of Caius

Haha, like I said: I was expecting Shinjuku, but a return to Shibuya in 3D would feel fresh.

It definitely does have a very different feel than the maps from the original game. I wonder, if we still might end up in Shinjuku. This is an early trailer and there still might be locations to be revealed.

I mean, to be fair, TWEWY came about because CoM existed. They used the latter as a foundation, and while it's an independent series on its own right, I guess you can say...KH is TWEWY's "mom", like how Bouncer was KH's "eccentric uncle/absent dad," although that honor could also go to Final Fantasy...

Edit: Make that "eccentric uncle who was the actual absent dad while mom had a drunken ménage-a-trois with both him and dad who turned out to be stepdad/hardass uncle."

I wanna see that old idea of Reaper games being played in other cities around the world come back. Instead of multiple weeks in Shibuya to pad out the game, send the players to like Cairo & Paris.

Hmm. This is a good idea, but I think they'll leave that for future TWEWY games. Maybe Neo will take place singularly in Shibuya or will pad out with other Japanese cities, like Shinjuku.

It'd be cool if TWEWY became an official Square Enix franchise after this. It always deserved to be.

I mean, it always has. Now with Neo, I presume the franchise's recognition is gonna blow up.

2 quid is good

but the movement seems a little.... Slow?

This is coming from a built of the game that was used for the trailer. The game comes out, like, nine months from now. They'll have enough time to polish it.

Mood. I just popped it into my Switch. I thought I was much further than Week 1, Day 3 but LOL nope.

I'm on Week 2, but actually replaying it xD Thinking of replaying it from zero. Again. xDD

So...did anybody else notice the Reaper in the trailer wearing a Mr.Mew robe?

Yes~! I like the idea of Shiki becoming a successful designer, but also I'm replaying the original and there's a Mr. Mew suit item, description says that Shiki made it for a school festival and it mysteriously disappeared afterwards? Maybe a connection, idk

I'm inclined to think that the current Reapers will have some sort of indirect connection with Neku, Shiki, Beat and Rhyme

A deep dive I found.

Minor spoilers for Melody of Memory at the end.

That was really good! I think they missed out on some other minor analyses, but it was great. I don't agree with the KH3D thing mostly because TWEWY already established their are many alternate realities of Shibuya. KH's "Shibuya" is just one of those and I'd say Quadratum is another such thing built from the whole worldliness concept introduced in KH3's secret reports. I do think there is merit in analyzing Rindo's dialogue about Shibuya being gone, though.

I wonder if they'll port FR to the PS4/5 before this drops. Man, I love the original, but I want to see the the additional shines for myself, and I am Switchless. I am kindof surprised to see this getting a PS4 release considering how Nintendo-exclusive TWEWY has been minus phone ports (and 2.8 ReMIX ?). I know it probably has more to do with expectation that new generations of fans are going to get caught up to speed from the anime, but let's do make it happen, Square.

A port would be heaven sent. I quit on week 1 day 4 because I got sick of having to reorient the Switch joy sticks cause they would start drifting every 5 seconds.

Oh yeah. It's also annoying that, whenever you hit the Home Button, you gotta resync them to the game.

That’s an issue with TWEWY as well? I’ve experienced the controllers constantly disconnecting in other games so I thought I had a defective console.

Yes. Whether your Joycos drift or not, whenever you hit the Home Button, say, you were playing Final Remix, and your mom cals you to help her with the groceries. I personally hit the Home Button to "pause" the game and not hit the pause button itself.

Point is, whenever you hit the Home button, you NEED to resync the Joyconn/s with the game.

This was especially annoying to me because I played 2 Player Mode by myself, hahahaha

I found it worse that if your switch was in handheld mode and you put it in TV mode then try to take it back to handheld mode, it doesn’t know what you are trying to do and forces you to use a Joycon. You have to completely exit from the game and restart to be able to re-enter handheld mode.

God, it looks like the game wasn't heavily beta tested, or just didn't care.

That said, a proper port would do the game justice.

Or preferably, a remake using Neo's engine, hahah

I did a Swagbucks survey and coincidentally stumbled upon market research by Square Enix about this game.

They're going to be releasing a new trailer. I'm not going to break NDA and say what it contains but it's definitely better than the debut trailer of the game.

Figured one was coming soon. Two SE titles are releasing which means NEO’s marketing cycle should begin in April to coincide with the anime’s release.
