…und zwar unter einem neuen Namen, denn hierzulande soll das neue RPG der Kingdom Hearts-Macher als „The World Ends With You“ bekannt und erfolgreich werden. Nach dem man länger kaum noch etwas von dem Spiel gehört hat, würde heute in einer Pressemitteilung bekannt gegeben, das Square Enix das neue Nintendo DS Rollenspiel bereits am Anfang des Jahres 2008 in Europa ausliefern will.
Hier die offzielle Pressemitteilung
SQUARE ENIX ANNOUNCES NEW NINTENDO DS TITLE FROM THE MAKERS OF KINGDOM HEARTS THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU
London (5th December 2007) Square Enix Ltd., the publisher of Square Enix® interactive entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories, today announces that THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU, an exciting new title from the makers of KINGDOM HEARTS, will be released exclusively on the Nintendo DS handheld system across all PAL territories in spring 2008.
Previously known as Subarashiki Kono Sekai on its release in Japan. THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU is an innovative new title from Square Enix that fully utilizes the capabilities of the Nintendo DS, and takes major influence from Japans modern day culture including its people, music, clothes, food and design.
Set in Tokyos trendiest district, the story begins with the lead character Neku waking up to find a phone message stating he has only 7 days before he will cease to exist. Only with the coolest fashions, friends and fighting skills can Neku restore hope to the citys population and prevent being stricken from existence altogether!
John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix Ltd. comments, Square Enix has traditionally been associated with RPGs set in fantasy lands, but THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU is our first ever game to be set in modern times and real-life locations. The use of the Nintendo DS functionality is second to none. We believe gamers of all ages and abilities will be able to enjoy all that THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU has to offer.
