NEO: The World Ends With You Teases Return of Fan Favorite Character
NEO: The World Ends with You has been a long time coming. The original DS game launched in 2007. It has taken years for a sequel to The World Ends with You to release. And with that comes many mysteries as to which characters, stories, and aspects of the game will carry over. But according to a new press release, one old friend may have just been confirmed to be coming back to NEO: The World Ends with You.
Some characters have been confirmed for NEO: The World Ends with You already, but there are plenty of things that are up in the air, as well. Thankfully, a new press release has detailed some interesting information about the upcoming highly anticipated RPG, including details about a character named Shiki.
For some, the upcoming release of NEO: The World Ends with You is a reason to play the original for the first time. The World Ends with You on the DS is seen as a stylish and beloved RPG by many. So the following information could be seen as a spoiler for those who have't played it yet.
Towards the end of the DS game The World Ends With You, the companion named Shiki escapes the Reaper's Game. Shiki is a seamstress in the game and she makes clothes and even a stuffed cat named Mr. Mew. Her exact fate at the end of The World Ends with You is not fully known, but Mr. Mew has made appearances in images for NEO: The World Ends with You.
On top of Mr. Mew being in NEW: The World Ends with You, the lovable stuffed cat appears to be the mascot for a new brand that has completely taken over Shibuya; that being Gatto Nero. There is a bit of an obsession with Shibuya, and now the district has an obsession with Mr. Mew and the new brand.
All of these clues together could mean the return of Shiki. There is a legitimate chance that Shiki and Eri (Shiki's best friend) have teamed up as business partners and created this new brand. It would be an interesting way to bring the fan-favorite character back for NEO: The World Ends with You. Shiki and her plush pal certainly appear to have been around before Gatto Nero. Fans shouldn't have to wait much longer, however, to learn if Shiki and Eri are behind Gatto Nero and if they are in the new game or not.
NEO: The World Ends with You launches on July 27 for PC, PS4, and Switch.
