Square Enix Accidentally Leaks NEO: The World Ends With You Demo Announcement

Well, looks like we're getting a demo for NEO: The World Ends With You sometime soon, though Square Enix may not have wanted us to know that bit of info just yet.

Moments ago, the Square Enix Twitter account posted a new trailer for the game that seemed mostly normal. However, a splash screen at the very end reads "Play the demo now!" As people began to point out the previously unknown demo on social media, Square Enix quickly deleted the tweet.

The trailer is no longer viewable, either.

This may be related to the news Tetsuya Nomura was teasing on the official Japanese account for NEO: The World Ends With You, which is supposed to be dropped at 12 pm Japan time on the 24th and 8 pm PT/11 pm ET on the 23rd. Hopefully, it is and the demo drops soon, especially as it's only a month away from release on July 27th anyway.

A widely available demo would be yet another opportunity to get a closer look at how Square Enix's fantastical vision of an alternate-reality Shibuya has changed in the 14 years since the last game. The company's already been fairly forthcoming with information about characters, setting, and other changes, but this would give fans a hands-on look for themselves.

We got a look at the first two chapters of the game earlier this month and found the sequel to be a compelling refresh of its DS roots.
