Death End Re;Quest 2 Release Date Narrowed Down to This Season

Still a step away from announcing the localised RPG’s formal release date outside of Japan, western video game publisher Idea Factory International has recently confirmed that Compile Heart’s Death end re;Quest 2 will be available on the PlayStation 4 and PC (via Steam) during Summer 2020 (or Winter 2020 for those in the Southern Hemisphere). This means we should expect a release over the next couple of months.

The PlayStation 4 version of Death end re;Quest 2 will be available both digitally via the PlayStation Store and physically at select retailers. The Steam version for PC platforms will be a digital-exclusive version, but includes the “original Death end re;Quest Glitch costumes, which appear during battle“. The Steam version will also offer a wider range of localisation options including English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese subtitles.

In announcing the release window, Idea Factory International also shared the below English-language screenshots, providing a handful of small glimpses into the game’s battle system and character skill animations:

About Death end re;Quest 2

Mai Toyama seeks an escape from her traumatic past. She enrolls 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.

Promoted Features of Death end re;Quest 2

Overkill Brings Huge Rewards – The Overkill system is an added feature where characters can stack damage beyond the health of an enemy for bonus experience! Try to inflict as much damage to all the monsters for bigger rewards.

Beware of the Berserker – During dungeon exploration and battle, a faceless, black figure will appear out of nowhere. The figure will also display an area of attack once it appears. Mai and her squad must step away from the Berserker’s area of attack, as it will instantly kill anyone with one single blow. Run away from the Berserker in the dungeon or defeat all the existing monsters in the battlefield to escape!

Day n’ Night – Mai will need to explore the town of Le Choara during the day and speak with the townspeople to find out clues as to where her sister is. By night, Mai will fight her way through dark creatures stylized in a turn-based RPG. Experience the story through the lens of a visual novel during the day and battle it out against horrific creatures by night!

Don’t Call it a Knockback – The Knockback system is back in Death end re;Quest 2, but this time, Mai and her squad can smack Shadow Matter even harder! Combo your attacks by flinging monsters to other party members!
