World’s End Club Launches on PS5 with Uchikoshi & Kodaka at the Helm

World’s End Club makes its PS5 debut, bringing a mix of side-scrolling action and narrative twists from the creators of Danganronpa and Zero Escape.

IzanagiGames and Too Kyo Games have launched World’s End Club for PlayStation 5 via the PlayStation Store. The game is priced at $24.99 / £19.99, marking its debut on Sony’s current-gen platform.

Previously released for Nintendo Switch, Steam, and iOS, this version brings the complete adventure to PlayStation 5 players, with enhanced performance and visuals where applicable.

? What Is World’s End Club?


World’s End Club is a genre-blending title that combines 2D side-scrolling puzzle-action with a branching narrative adventure. It’s the brainchild of two major talents in the visual novel world: Kotaro Uchikoshi (Zero Escape) and Kazutaka Kodaka (Danganronpa), serving as writer and creative director respectively.

? The Story So Far


Set in an alternate Japan, a group of unusual elementary school students—known as the Go-Getters Club—embark on a cross-country trip that goes wildly off course after a freak accident. When they wake up in an eerie underwater theme park, they’re forced into a mysterious “Fate Game” by a creepy clown mascot.

With no clue how they got there, the kids must fight to survive—and uncover the truth behind strange events unfolding across the globe. Along the way, latent powers awaken within each member, making them central to a much larger mystery.
