But that’s not all in terms of digital goodies. If you pick the game up on the PlayStation Store or Nintendo eShop by August 26, you’ll score a “Legendary Threads Set,” which includes five special, equippable items that used to belong to Neku, the first game’s protagonist.
Fret not if you miss this deadline, though, as you can still earn these items in the game, just much later on.
NEO: The World Ends with You takes place three years after the events of the upcoming The World Ends with You The Animation anime series. Additionally, the series begins its simulcast on Funimation later today!
