YOU HAVE SEVEN DAYS.

HOW WILL YOU FARE IN THE REAPER'S GAME?

The World Ends With You (also known as It's a Wonderful World in Japan - Subarashiki Kono Sekai) was released in Japan in July 2007, and in PAL regions and North America in April 2008.

TWEWY is one of my favorite games of all time. i'd go so far as to say it was one of the most influential games i'd ever played in my childhood.

ADAPTATIONS

how can you play twewy?

WHAT ABOUT THE ANIME?

we don't talk about the anime.

ok, well, the truth is, it was a really mediocre adaptation and i honestly think they could've and should've done a WAY better job of it than they did, but WHATEVER--
And then, after 14 years...
On Nov 23, 2020, the announcement trailer was dropped.
On Apr 9, 2021, the release date trailer was dropped.
That release date?

*this wasn't actually the first announcement trailer but it IS the most hype one

July 27, 2021

so like, let me tell you something.
when I say I lost my shit
I mean it when I say
i completely lost my shit.

here is an approximate recreation of my reaction:

like, okay, i need you to understand-- the fandom had been memeing about how we were never getting a sequel for YEARS. it just wasn't happening, seriously! common knowledge was that twewy was just never getting a sequel.

like...

...eeeeeeeeeeeeeever.

the assumption was that, well, it was too much of an obscure cult classic to be considered broadly marketable. it got tons of critical acclaim, but it didn't sell nearly as well as some of squenix's other games, so the fandom settled in pretty comfortably that it wasn't happening.

and then it did.

and i LOST MY SHIT.

and it was GREAT.
