Remember the fun April Fools’ Day joke from the Reynatis developers this year, in which they jokingly announced a collaboration with The World Ends With You?
Turns out it’s not just an April Fools’ Day joke after all!
Last week, it was officially announced that Reynatis will include a side story featuring Shoka and other characters from The World Ends With You.
From the details that have been revealed, it looks like the Reynatis cast will become part of the Reapers’ Game in this side story.
I was already planning to get Reynatis, but if I wasn’t, I would be now. Heck, I was excited enough when I thought it was an April Fools’ joke. An actual collaboration isn’t something I thought TWEWY would get.
In addition to the trailer, they also recently tweeted combat footage against Noise enemies.
The combat in that clip also looks a lot smoother than in their previous trailers, so that’s a good sign. On paper, Reynatis sounds like a game meant for me, exactly the sort of thing I’ll love. Not all of FuRyu’s games have been so well-received, however, so I worry it won’t live up to its potential. Still, I’m going to get it.
Reynatis will be out in Japan on July 25 and in the west on September 27. A Limited Edition is also available. Are you planning to pick up Reynatis? How do you feel about the TWEWY collaboration?

The TWEWY collab seems like a fun surprise! They seem to really be pulling out a lot of stops, with multiple enemies from the games… I’m trying to remember when I last saw such a big collab featured in a game which didn’t have collabs as one of its major selling points!
Yes, it’s definitely a surprise! The most recent thing like that I can think of is when Final Fantasy XV and Assassins Creed did a crossover event.
Normal people: Whoa this is neat!
Me: Omg this must mean a SEQUEL IS COMING
seriously though this is cool, at least they are still acknowledging the franchise!
Yes!
I think it does increase our chances of a sequel, since it shows they still care about it (and although Reynatis is a niche game, it might still help to get more people interested in NEO TWEWY).
