Previously teased with a rather odd “fake” trailer, Compile Heart have finally announced their new upcoming game “Death end re;Quest”, bound to generate curiosity and anticipation as the title will apparently be a virtual reality themed MMORPG – though not the type that most are likely expecting…
Famitsu’s latest issue unveiled the grandiose announcement and explained that the title revolves around a programmer being trapped within a discontinued virtual reality MMORPG (it has not been confirmed if Death end re;Quest is an actual MMORPG or will be compatible with VR), which has naturally caused many to draw comparisons to the .Hack and Sword Art Online franchises.
Players will be tasked with defeating ill-tempered bugs via a turn-based combat system and aiding a game director who went missing after becoming trapped in the MMORPG, with players apparently also being able to change the genre of battles in entirety.
Death end re;Quest is being developed for the PS4 and it has been stated that the game is nearly 50% complete; an exact launch date has yet to be announced.
What’s Japans deal with naming things “Re;…”?
What are these games replying to?
What I don’t get is why is it a semicolon “Re;” and not a colon “Re:”? Does that have a different meaning then the “Re:” we use normally?
I thought of it as wordplay for three different things:
Re – Like something to do with repeating like what Re:Zero was. Possibly not even time related but something else.
Quest – a long or arduous search for something.
Request – an act of asking politely or formally for something.
Expanding on re- for consistency:
a prefix, occurring originally in loanwords from Latin, used with the meaning “again” or “again and again” to indicate repetition, or with the meaning “back” or “backward” to indicate withdrawal or backward motion
Overlord MMO finally here?
How about we just make something and call it Re:Re
Why not?
call it REeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

As if Compile Heart could program anything better than visual novels with gameplay that could run on my phone.
Don’t talk s♥♥t about Compile Heart.
Compile Heart games are mediocre at best. More often a half ass forgotten battle system but the quality waifus they create are what keep them going.
