Ryuki Ishii<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Square Enix has announced that the PC version of <em><strong>NEO: The World Ends with You<\/strong><\/em> is coming to Epic Games Store on September 28. The game will include both English and Japanese audio. Whether it will be a timed exclusive or a permanent Epic Games Store exclusive has not been revealed at this time.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NEO: The World Ends with You - Release Date Announcement | Epic Games Store\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jnoesp71n1U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>NEO: The World Ends with You<\/em> is an action RPG by Square Enix and h.a.n.d., a sequel to <em>The World Ends with You<\/em> which was released on Nintendo DS and other platforms. The protagonist, Rindo, notices something is off while walking through the district of Shibuya, Tokyo. Eventually, a strange girl who claims to be a Reaper invites him to a competition called the Reaper\u2019s Game. Rindo, who still can\u2019t get rid of a sense of oddity, will try to get to the bottom of things while fighting the enemies (Noises) using the power of Pins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PS4\/Nintendo Switch version of <em>NEO: The World Ends with You <\/em>was released in July and received high praise from both critics and users. On Metacritic, the game has a stable Metascore of 82 for its Nintendo Switch version, and 80 for the PS4 version. User Score is 8.6 and 8.4 respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game\u2019s well-crafted storyline, stylish combat, unique game system, and accessible gameplay all add up to an all-round action RPG sure to be as good as its cult-favorite predecessor. The battles take advantage of the 3D map while retaining the charm of the previous game. The plot is unpredictable with numerous parts that will please fans of the series. You don\u2019t need to know the first game to enjoy it, but you\u2019ll definitely get more out of it by playing <em>The World Ends with You<\/em> first.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210922-176462-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210922-176462-001.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210922-176462-001-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210922-176462-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210922-176462-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210922-176462-001-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210922-176462-001-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210922-176462-001-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210922-176462-001-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/20210922-176462-001-747x420.jpg 747w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spec requirement is quite low for a Square Enix game, with the recommended specs being AMD A8-7600 \/ Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 i3-3210 processor and AMD Radeon\u2122 RX 460 \/ NVIDIA\u00ae GeForce\u00ae GTX 950 graphics.
