Nintendo Square Enix Accidentally Sells Early Copies of NEO: The World Ends With You

[Demon_Skeith]

NEO: The World Ends With You is a sequel over a decade in the making. Fans of the original RPG have remained a small but incredibly loyal community, hopeful but without unhealthy expectations about what might be next for The World Ends With You. Since its announcement, those fans have anxiously awaited NEO: The World Ends With You's launch on July 27. It seems, however, their patience may have been rewarded earlier than expected.

It appears that NEO: The World Ends With You for the Nintendo Switch has leaked early, unlocking for those who purchased the game in a specific way. That means NEO: The World Ends With You is fully playable today, July 17, ten days earlier than NEO: TWEWY's release date. As such, fans should probably be wary of spoilers on social media up through launch.

I wonder if SquareEnix release this game early on purpose, so it gets more blog posts and social networking posts about SquareEnix Accidentally selling early copies of NEO: THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU.

Still funny, Nintendo needs to call the mario bros for these leaks

Heard about this earlier and how to watch out for spoilers.

Looks like the lucky are now unlucky, they should be locked out of the game.

Stuff like this is always fun to hear about. I wish this happened a lot more for games.
Would love to play some games earlier than the release dates.

Wish my area had one of those legendary mom & pop stores that always break street dates.

I always thought those types of stores were less likely to because if the publishers found out, they would get blacklisted? And that can be awful for a smaller store.

Not sure, but I always hear people bragging of getting their copy earley.

Microsoft actually stopped that a bit with flight sim. I saw that some people had their physical discs delivered early but they couldn't play it because they got the same message as users that had preloaded the game - come back on the 27th.

So that means the game isn't on the disc?

Downloads from the disc but you can't run it since I think it initially requires an internet connection to download an update and do something with the server.

fantastic, as soon as the servers shut down the game disc is a paperweight.

I mean the story is connected to the first and the general plot isn't really a spoiler but still awful to see people sharing it early or even when anyone else who buys the game later gets spoiled online.
