Neo: The World Ends With Youis finally out, featuring four main characters: Rindo, Nagi, Fret, and Minamimoto, a new battle system nearly as fun as the original’s stylus-based fights, and a modernized setting - how long does it take to beat this new sequel?
How long isNeo: the World Ends With You/TWEWY 2?
Back in April, Square Enix actually revealed how long is the game in an interview with our Japanese peers at4Gamer. The interview featured producer Tomohiko Hirano, series director Tatsuya Kondo, and game director Hiroyuki Ito.
Translating Hiroyuki Ito’s comments, he mentioned: “This sequel is much longer than the original game. I think even just focusing on the main story to reach the ending will keep you busy for around 50 hours.”
The originalTWEWYon Nintendo DS is around 20 hours long, soNeois pretty much twice as long.
Tatsuya Kondo added: “I think you’ll definitely go over 100 hours if you do all the side content. We have hardcore bonus fights, and there’s also collecting all the badges and all the social links.”
Now that the game is out, glancing at the trophy PSN accounts data out so far, it does look like you’ll easily take over 100 hours to Platinum the game. However, personally speaking, I consider 100% clearing a game and getting the Platinum trophy two different things. There is absolutely no value in pursuing a “fight this enemy 1000 times” trophy. you’re able to clear all of a game’s side content without ever getting stupid trophies like these.

Speaking of trophies, we have the full list below, 51 trophies courtesy ofPSNProfiles.Keep in mind this contains spoilers.
Personally speaking, seeing we waited nearly 15 years for a sequel, I believe it’d be a shame to rush throughNeo TWEWYjust to brag you’ve cleared it.
Neo: The World Ends With Youis available on PS4 and Switch. A PC version will be released via Epic Games Store later this summer. Square Enix did not announce a specific date yet for this PC version.
