Publisher PQube has announced a delay for the western version of Our World is Ended.

The game will forgo its planned March release window for one a bit later – on April 18th in North America and Europe. The April release date is planned for the PlayStation 4 and Switch versions of the game – there’s a Windows PC (via Steam) port coming later.

We have to unpack the release info a bit: the European release includes both the retail and digital versions of game, while the April date is only for the digital versions in North America, the retail versions are coming later on May 7th.

Digital pre-orders will kick off on March 4th for the European PlayStation Store and on March 19th on the Nintendo eShop. North American pre-orders weren’t confirmed. Early copies for the physical version comes with various goodies – you can read more about them here.

Here’s a rundown on the game:

Our World is Ended follows Judgement 7, a team of young developers working on a brand new game engine called the W.O.R.L.D program. When wearing an Augmented Reality headset, this revolutionary program changes the landscape in real time. When Reiji, the game part-time director, tries the program in the streets of Asakusa, he catches a glimpse of an unsettling cityscape. Could this be a glitch or is there more to it than meets the eye?

His doubts are soon to be confirmed as the members of Judgement 7 will find themselves trapped between fiction and the real world. Characters and creatures from their previous games have breached into the world and now risk of becoming reality. The city is on the verge of being overwritten. Judgement 7’s battle to bring the world back is about to begin!
