The World Ends With You is finally getting a sequel next year

After originally releasing on the Nintendo DS back in 2007,  The World Ends With You received a second wind in 2018 thanks to its revival on the Nintendo Switch. It would seem that the Switch release reignited enough interest in the series to warrant a sequel too. 

Today, Square Enix announced NEO: The World Ends With You, an official sequel to the original 2007 RPG. Like the original game, the sequel will take place in Shibuya, Tokyo:

Since this game takes place in Shibuya, it does have some resemblance to Persona 5, which also heavily features the Shibuya district of Tokyo.

In NEO: The World Ends With You, players will take on the role of Rindo, as you try to survive in the Reapers' Game. A new cast of characters will join you along the way. The game is expected to release in Summer 2021 for the Nintendo Switch and PS4.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
