The World’s End Club, announced on Nintendo Direct last night, is an intriguing prospect for fans of Danganronpa and Zero Escape, and not just because the team behind it has worked on those games in the past.
While we don’t have much information about the upcoming game, we do know that it involves a group of 12-year-olds called the Go-Getters Club, who get stuck in a strange underwater amusement park and are forced to play for their survival in a “Fate Game” by a sadistic clown. Honestly, if that isn’t honking your excitement horn, then what is?
Two special physical editions of the game are in the works: 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 full art book, full soundtrack, an acrylic stand of protagonist Reycho in the carousel, and an enamel pin from Club Leader’s Badge.
The Deluxe Edition will be available “at all major participating retailers”, according to NIS America, but the Limited Edition is only available through their website. Pre-orders can be placed now, but won’t ship until the game comes out on May 28.
