We reported a month or so ago that Square's new DS game The World Ends With You will be landing in Europe sometime this year. Well Aussies can now rest easy as Ubisoft have sent word that they'll be bring the little to Australian shores sometime this Autumn. If you're not already up to speed with the game, here's what you need to know:
Set in Tokyo’s 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 city’s population and prevent being stricken from existence altogether!
The story begins as our hero, Neku, wakes up amidst the hustle and bustle of Shibuya, Tokyo. Confused and disoriented, he receives a message on his phone warning him that he will cease to exist unless he completes a certain mission. With his life seemingly on the line, Neku plunges into the back streets of the urban labyrinth...
So beyond story, what can you expect from the title? The awesome setting of Tokyo with high quality stylized imagery along side an array of characters each with their own personality and style sense. We've also been told to expect everything from an amazing varied soundtrack, and a battle system that involves both screens, touch elements and the microphone. Finally keeping up with trends and shopping will play an element in the game as you try to stay ahead of the curve of fashion. You'll also be able to trade items with your friends via WiFi. Oh and they've also chucked in minigames to play via WiFi.
All up, The World Ends With You looks to be a seriously feature packed game that seems to be almost fulling the title of a second life for players. And the best part of this is we finally have a screenshot! Check it out!
