'Death end re;Quest 2' Gets Nintendo Switch Release Date

by Rainier on Dec. 14, 2021 @ 2:34 p.m. PST

Death end re;Quest 2 is a classic turn-based RPG sequel that asks the question: What happens when reality is consumed by darkness?

Can Mai find truth in Le Choara and save her sister?

In collaboration with the scenario writer of the Corpse Party series, Makoto Kedouin, and the character designer of the original Death end re;Quest, Kei Nanameda, Death end re;Quest 2 is a sequel that asks the question: What happens when reality is consumed by darkness?

Mai Toyama seeks an escape from her traumatic past. She becomes enrolled at Wordsworth, an all-girl’s dormitory situated in the small, mountainous town known as Le Choara where it was rumored that her sister, Sanae, was last seen. Hopeful, Mai seeks to find her kin, but she soon finds terrifying inhabitants which lurk throughout the town after dark. At night, Le Choara’s streets are filled with Shadow Matter—a horrific group of menacing creatures. Around every cobblestone corner, Mai discovers that her hope of finding her sister lies beneath the long-buried secrets which haunt Le Choara.

Death end re;Quest 2 will be available physically and digitally for the Nintendo Switch on February 8, 2022 in North America and February 11 in Europe.

All the DLC previously released on the PS4 version (both free and paid) will be built into in the port, as well as the original Japanese Glitch outfits.
