The long wait is over! The final game in the series has finally been announced after what seems like an eternity for fans who have been waiting with bated breath. I know I'm certainly excited. How about you guys?

Coming Summer 2016

From an Aksys PR email, it has been announced for the 3DS and Vita. Fully voiced cinematics and dual audio. Somewhat of a spoiler:
Many government organizations have dismissed our urgent warnings regarding the upcoming game event called Zero Time Dilemma. Recent intelligence has escalated our plans and we have come to the decision to contact gamers about the dangers directly. Our ultimate goal has always been to protect the public from the horrific consequences we have foreseen, but it appears our mission to prevent it from occurring may have failed. It is imperative that you make every effort to prepare yourselves for the oncoming deadly game, so that you may survive the coming apocalypse.

An antidote for the game is predicted to be created, but much further down this timeline, and as such there is no defense from its effects. It will be most easily identifiable on Nintendo 3DS™ and PlayStation®Vita handheld entertainment system, though it is transmittable through the air so the spread may increase even more rapidly through the PlayStation®Store and Nintendo eShop.

Do not be tempted by familiar faces, fully voiced cinematics, multiple endings, or voices in both Japanese and English, as those are signs that the apocalypse is nigh. We suggest that you put extensive effort into improving your puzzle solving skills, as they will be vital to your survival.

We at Crash Keys beg for your assistance in notifying everyone you can so that no one is left in the dark about this dangerous game. The world will end up in a tumultuous uproar, and ultimate consequences will be unavoidable unless word gets out. Use all the time available to you before the summer of next year to contact your loved ones and prepare; our intelligence hasn’t been able to focus in on an exact date at this time. Do not fear – we are here to protect you and prepare you to our utmost ability so that you may survive. You will survive. We will use all channels available to contact you with updates as soon as we uncover them. You must be ready.

Now to finally get around to getting the other 2 and playing them
If possible, I'd recommend waiting until a month or two before the game releases. The story can get rather complicated, and if it was fresh in your mind, it'd be easier to follow. That's why a couple weeks before it releases I'm gonna plow through the first two again. With a pen and paper for notes/theories.

Well that's fantastic. Instant purchase for me. I'll probably do what I did last time and buy it digitally and physically.

Hopefully without huge game-breaking memory leaks this time...

I do recall several people claiming this game would never come for various reasons. I guess this means I have to play VLR finally, though I already finished 999 (one hell of a game btw).

To be fair, it really shouldn't have. The series sold like shit in Japan, to the point where the developer/publisher flat-out said they wouldn't do the third game; the writer couldn't or wouldn't crowdfund it. That was a year and a half ago, and the only real outcry was from outside of Japan. I'm kind of wondering what kind of arrangement got made, as the announcement actually came through the North American publisher (and the writer, who was there as a guest), rather than Spike/Chunsoft, although dual audio at least indicates it's going to be released in Japan as well.

999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors > Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward > Zero Escape 3.
The first 2 were absolutely amazing and I imagine the third won't disappoint. Looking forward to it.

I honestly waited for it to come to Kickstarter. But this is great, too!

I was also afraid they would release ZE3 on IOS/Android to cut cost, so it's 2 very good news in one for me ^-^
