A sub-domain has appeared on Square Enix's website labeled Subaseka, which is similar to the Japanese title for The World Ends With You, which is Subarashiki Kono Sekai.

Characters from The World Ends With you appeared in the recent Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, and back in April Tetsuya Nomura offered hints about a new entry in the series. He said, "regarding The World Ends With You, I can't say anything at present, but there probably is something."

The Square Enix site has a countdown that is ending shortly. Maybe we will find out more soon.

Woah, woah, woah, hang on a minute.

"I can't say anything at present, but there probably is something."

Seriously? You have to pick one. You can't say "I have nothing to say" and then SAY SOMETHING.

Anyway, The World Ends With You sequel, probably. Pretty cool.

What's wrong with that countdown clock? It speeds up and slows down everyone and awhile.

According to some folks who use EST, it reset itself back to counting down from 7 days. Sorry to spoil it :(

Heard it was good. Might give this a look. Sequel, prequel, or 3D(3DS)/HD(360/PS3/Wii U/PC) remake?

It cleary is TWEWY. The Japanese title is 'Subarashiki Kono Sekai' and the link's has 'SubaSeka' is the URL.

I would guess this to be another 3DS game from Squeenix. Good for them.

After Sleeping Dogs and Dues Ex HR, Square Enix = My favorite PC porter.

I'd be ultra incredibly excited if a sequel is happening. The World Ends With You is my absolute favorite DS game.

If this happens, and I just got a 3DS XL and can finally play Kingdom Hearts: DDD this may possibly go down as the best week of my life!

A game like this could really show off the potential of both Vita's touch screen and pad, if they decided to make a sequel, or spin-off, for it. To have a new version on 3DS would be great too though. The original was probably my favorite DS game.

Common Sense: Developers have done this in the past, putting Pit in Brawl similar to how Square put these characters in KH3. This is hardly a rumor. It would be closer to say: The logical next step.

That is definitely the same font as TWEWY. This has got me VERY excited.
by Tavia-chan Monday, August 20, 2012 at 01:01 AM

That is an awesome rumor. I loved The World That Ends With You a lot; it was my most played DS game. A sequel for it would be great!
by Tonemanzero Monday, August 20, 2012 at 01:24 AM

I feel like we can easily say that it is a TWEWY game with this piece of evidence (Thanks JohnCasey on Andriasang): http://www.square-enix.co.jp/subaseka/images/NCQKL/sound_3days.mp3 BTW I am so excited for this.
