Our World is Ended Coming West to Switch, PS4 and PC Next Year

Our World is Ended, a visual novel about video game characters coming into the real world, is being released in North America and Europe on Switch, PS4 and PC in 2019, announced publisher PQube. The game was previously only available in Japan on the PS Vita. A new trailer was released to coincide with the announcement, which you can see down below.

According to the game’s website, Our World is Ended follows a team of developers called Judgement 7 as they work on a new game engine named the W.O.R.L.D program. Using an augmented reality headset, this program “changes the landscape in real time.” While using the headset, one of the team members sees an image of a destroyed cityscape and discovers that the characters from their previous games have breached into the real world. Now, the team must fight to “bring the world back.”

Here are some of the game’s features:

• An Engaging Story with Lovable Characters: Meet the wild bunch that is Judgement 7, a team of eccentric game developers, trapped between reality and the game world where simple glitches can have devastating consequences!
