Announced on Nintendo Direct last night, the World End Club is an intriguing prospect for fans of Danganronpa and Zero Escape, and not just because the team behind him has worked on those games in the past.
Although we don’t have much information about the next game, we know it’s about a group of 12-year-old boys called the Go-Getters Club, who are trapped in a strange underwater theme park and are forced to play for their survival in a “Game of Destiny” “by a sadistic clown. Honestly, if that doesn’t sound your horn of excitement, what will?
Two special physical editions of the game are in progress: the Deluxe Edition, which comes with a mini art book, a soundtrack sampler and a reversible cover; and the $ 80 (£ 57) Limited Edition, which gives you a complete art book, the complete soundtrack, an acrylic stand by protagonist Reycho riding on the carousel and an enamel pin by the club leader.
The Deluxe Edition will be available “at all major participating retailers”, according to NIS America, but the Limited Edition is only available on its website. Pre-orders can be placed now, but will not be shipped until the game is released on May 28.
