The character design inNeo The World Ends With Youis handled by Tetsuya Nomura, Gen Kobayashi, and Miki Yamashita.
These four looks to be our neo protagonists for this entry. However through the trailer the characters mentions the “Shinigami game”, Reaper’s game in English, and elements about surviving or getting “erased”. Multiple characters who seemingly are Reapers appear in the trailer as well. Everything is still set in Shibuya. Looks like the Noise monsters are still there as well as their badges too. At the end of the day, this new entry seems to have overall the same settings / lore as the original.
As for the battle system, it looks pretty similar to the original game as well, but with another depth now that it’s 3D. The badges are still there. Moreover, we have the four party members revealed above fighting together at the same time. Instead of only having Neku and another character. All four characters share the same HP bar.
Lastly, the trailer also features a certain character, Tsugumi Matsunae, who was appearing inThe World Ends With You Final Remix(andSolo Remixbeforehand). Minamimoto is also one of the Reapers from the past game. Meaning more characters from the previous game might appear.
The final scene of the trailer features Rindo talking about someone, saying he’ll definitely protect them and change fate.
