THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU Is Getting an Anime Adaptation
The World Ends With You is a bit of a cult classic RPG from Square Enix. Well, now we know that the game is getting an anime adaptation. Unfortunately, we don’t know too many details about the series, but thanks to Dengeki Online, we know that more will be revealed during Anime Expo Lite which starts on July 3. The news for The World Ends With You is set to be announced at 6 PM PT. Here’s the synopsis released for the Nintendo Switch port of the game:
Complete the mission...or face erasure. That’s all Neku knows after regaining consciousness in the middle of a busy intersection without his memories. Now he and his partner must fight to survive a life-or-death game in this twisted tale with more turns than the urban labyrinth of Tokyo they’re trapped in. This definitive version of Square Enix’s RPG classic brings the dark story to life on the Nintendo Switch system along with an extra chapter, exclusive two-player combat, and some killer, new remixed music. In the crowded chaos of Tokyo, players of the Reapers’ Game must complete daily missions or face total erasure. Neku might not be enthusiastic about forging relationships, but with his very life on the line, he’ll need to learn how to work together with a partner—and fast: they only have seven days. Gear up with stat-enhancing threads and collect mysterious pins to unleash psychic abilities in battle.
