NEO: The World Ends with You

Neo: The World Ends with You (stylized as NEO: The World Ends with You) is a 2021 action role-playing game co-developed by Square Enix and h.a.n.d. and published by Square Enix. It is a sequel to the 2007 video game The World Ends with You. It was released for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in July 2021 and for Windows in September. The story features a new cast of characters playing the Reapers' Game in Shibuya and, unlike the original game, features three-dimensional graphics. Concepts for a sequel to The World Ends with You were conceived in the years following its original 2007 release, but did not come to fruition. Returning staff for the game include Tatsuya Kando as series director, Tetsuya Nomura as creative producer and character designer, Gen Kobayashi as character designer, and Hiroyuki Itou, who was game designer in the original but now serves as director. Takeharu Ishimoto, the composer for the original game, though no longer a full time employee of Square Enix, returned to compose music. Neo: The World Ends with You received positive reviews from critics, but failed to meet sales expectations of the publisher.
