News: Get a sneak peek at some of what you can expect when you pick up the sequel to The World Ends With You next month.

Neo: The World Ends With You will be released next month but Square Enix has revealed that you can play a small part of it right now thanks to a demo that is available on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation. Players will be transported to the bustling streets of Shibuya in this long-awaited follow-up to the RPG classic The World Ends with You, as they follow protagonist Rindo on his quest to survive and uncover the mysteries behind the sinister “Reapers’ Game,'' a life-or-death battle in which he has been forced to take part.

In addition, Square Enix unveiled the Neo: The World Ends with You Final Trailer, which provides a deeper look at a comic-inspired Shibuya filled with shops and restaurants, the colorful cast of characters, and the dangers Rindo and the Wicked Twisters will encounter as they play through the Reapers’ Game.

In the demo, players will experience the first two days of the Reapers’ Game, introducing players to protagonist Rindo, his friend Fret, and many other stylish and memorable characters. Players will be able to undertake missions, begin their collection of pins granting various Psychs, and get a taste of the game’s frenetic combat against the mysterious Noise, utilizing a variety of flashy combat Psychs to suit their playstyle. Progress in the campaign will transfer to the full game for those who purchase Neo: The World Ends with You on the same platform. So, for example, if you play the demo on the Nintendo Switch, your progress will not carry over to the PlayStation version.

Neo: The World Ends with You will launch on July 27, 2021 for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch system, with a PC version of the game available on the Epic Games Store this summer. Physical and digital editions of Neo: The World Ends with You are available for pre-order on select platforms.
