The official blog for The World End Eclipse has recently announced that the game will be ending service on October 6, 2016. The online RPG game was made available on PC, iOS, Android in Japan and a PlayStation Vita version was scheduled to be released this year, but we can assume that’s been cancelled. The game was never released in the West.
The 12th single album of Japanese J-Pop artist May’n was released on December 16th, and aside from the opening theme song of the TV anime Yoake No Logos, it also contains the theme song for SEGA’s The World End Eclipse. May’n, known for being the singing voice of the character Sheryl Nome in the TV anime Macross Frontier, also performed the opening song for SEGA’s Valkyria Chronicles 3. Titled Zero Bun no Zero, the song’s official music video has now been made available entirely on Youtube. You can view it after the break.
The World End Eclipse, Sega’s upcoming free-to-play RPG for mobile, PC and PS Vita, has received a new Japanese trailer. The trailer shows the game’s premise, a world that was destroyed by dragons and where humanity is now trying to rebuild their civilization (in fact, they’re building their towns on the back of the dragons’ remains). Aside from the simulation element in the game, where you build your town, the game’s combat system is also shown. The combat seems like a variation on the grid based combat system seen in other SEGA mobile games like Chain Chronicle, where characters move in separate lines and advance towards the enemy. At the end of the video, we also get to hear an excerpt of the game’s theme song by May’n. Watch the new trailer below!
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.
Sega’s recently announced The World End Eclipse for iOS, Android, PS Vita and PC, and has now published a video showing the prologue of the game. In a background story reminiscent from Sega’s Panzer Dragoon games, the video shows how the world was once destroyed by dragons. Now, humanity is trying to rebuild their civilization on the remains of those dead dragons.
During Tokyo Game Show Sega showcased their latest online RPG, The World End Eclipse. It will be a free-to-play game and available for PC, Vita, iOS and Android this winter season. Key staff include producer Shinji Motoyama (Valkyria Chronicles series, Nightshade), character design by Katsumi Enami (Baccano!, Ys Seven) and composer Hitoshi Sakamoto (Valkyria Chronicles, Final Fantasy Tactics).
According to Siliconera’s report, The World End Eclipse is described as a “Theatrical Online RPG”. The setting takes place in a world brought to ruins due to a war amongst dragons, and civilization has built towns on their remains. Apparently the story will not be entirely fantasy-themed, but military as well.
Further details are still sparse, but players are allowed to share save data between versions and cross platform co-op.
