NEO: The World Ends with You is a sequel to the 2007 title The World Ends with You. Co-developed by Square Enix and h.a.n.d, the title features a new cast of characters playing something called the Reapers’ Game in a reimagined Shibuya. This game is a week-long competition that will determine the fate of the characters themselves, and it also appeared in the original title. While everyday life continues like normal in the Realground, a number of deceased individuals are chosen and brought to an alternate plane of existence called the Underground. Winners will be brought back to life or, if they prefer, brought to heaven.
Recently, Square Enix announced that the original physical soundtrack for NEO: The World Ends with You would be restocked due to popular demand. The soundtrack is also available to stream on Spotify.
The World Ends with You became a smash hit upon its release in 2007, with critics and fans instantly falling in love with the title’s unique graphical style, soundtrack, and reimagination of one of Tokyo’s most popular areas. Many consider it to be one of the greatest video games of all time.
