It’s been rather quiet regarding The World End Eclipse, Sega’s upcoming RPG for mobile, PC and PlayStation Vita. The game was initially meant to be released end 2014, but it was delayed and very little information about the game was made available throughout this year.
But today, Sega announced it will be opening up pre-registration for the game in Japan. As of now, people in Japan can now register for the mobile and/or the PC version for the game. Those that do will get a few bonus items when the game launches, and registering for both the mobile and PC version will grant more items than registering for only one of them. The iOS and Android version will be launching first in October 2015, followed by the PC version in Fall 2015. The release date for the PlayStation Vita version isn’t known yet.
With so many similar mobile games on the market, Sega and other developers are trying to stand out from the competition. We can see that The World End Eclipse already shows a clear evolution in terms of graphics compared to Sega’s Chain Chronicles. With Hortensia Saga also available in Japan now, one has to wonder if Sega’s mobile RPG’s may end up competing with each other. At the moment no localization has been announced for the game. I’m guessing Sega will first look at how well the game performs in the Japanese market before looking into making it available overseas.
You can watch the new teaser trailer below, along with a few new screenshots that were released. The theme song featured in the trailer is performed by May’n. The pre-registration website can be found here.
