About NEO: The World Ends With You
Explore a stylized recreation of Shibuya, as you take on the role of Rindo to battle for survival and unravel the mysteries of the deadly “Reaper’s Game” in this new Action RPG for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.
The game takes place in a recreated and stylized version of the Shibuya district in Tokyo. Unlike the first game’s depiction of Shibuya, places such as Tower Records and Parco keep their names instead of using different ones such as Towa Records and Molco.
As with the anime, some of the elements of the game had been modernised for the sequel, such as the use of smartphones rather than earlier flip-style cell phones and the appearance of the game’s 104 building matches the current appearance of the real-life Shibuya 109 building.
