The World Ends With You Animation: Official trailer revealed
A few weeks ago we got a teaser on an animated series based on the cult-classic DS game The World Ends With You. Now, we have our first look at what we can expect. Coming in 2021, 'The World Ends With You: The Animation' will retell the events of The World Ends With You with a faithful take on the games unique art-style.
TWEWY was originally released in 2007 for the Nintendo DS, and characters from the game have made cameo appearances in Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. The original title has had re-releases on iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch over the years, but despite its popularity, there has been no word on a sequel.
