Anime-style dungeon RPG Death end re;Quest Code Z arrives for Nintendo Switch as an Asian English edition in 2026

Physical pre-orders opening this week


Hong Kong – April 13, 2026 – Independent developer and publisher Eastasiasoft Limited announced today that they have once again partnered with Idea Factory to release Death end re;Quest Code Z for Nintendo Switch as an English edition in Asia. This special release will include English text support as well as voiceover in Japanese. Physical editions will be available to pre-order from Playasia later this week.

Following up on partnership with Idea Factory for the Hyperdimension Neptunia and Hakuoki series, Eastasiasoft Limited will be making Death end re;Quest Code Z available to new audiences as a physical English edition. Death end re;Quest Code Z is a standalone spin-off entry from developer Compile Heart that puts players in control of new protagonist Sayaka Hiwatari as she awakens in a parallel universe, a fresh setting that makes this a perfect jumping-on point for newcomers as well as a celebration of the series for existing fans. In Death end re;Quest Code Z, Sayaka must brave the perils of the Strain Area to rescue her friends before encroaching insanity overwhelms her. Like other games in the series, Death end re;Quest Code Z is filled with possible bad ends where Sayaka is brutally killed, but with each failed attempt, she gains valuable skill points to bolster her abilities and stack the deck in her favor for subsequent dungeon runs.

Physical editions for Nintendo Switch will be available for pre-order with online retailer Playasia this Thursday, April 16th at 11:00pm Hong Kong time. Only 2000 Limited Editions will be produced, which will include the game, manual, soundtrack CD, art book, Joy-Con™ stickers, mini case, acrylic standee and a numbered certificate in a collector’s box for US$59.99 plus shipping, while supplies last. There will be no reprint of this Limited Edition. Standard copies will also be available at US$39.99. Upon release, Death end re;Quest Code Z will also be stocked with select retail partners in Southeast Asia.

About Death end re;Quest Code Z

Take the role of Sayaka as she navigates the deadly Strain Area in an attempt to rescue her friends! Death end re;Quest Code Z is a dungeon RPG with 3D exploration, strategic turn-based combat, an engaging dialogue-driven narrative and numerous endings, many involving gruesome deaths that Sayaka must avoid if she hopes to succeed in her quest. Watch out for traps, strategize through enemy encounters and be mindful of each step you take, delving as deep as possible before insanity consumes you!

Iris was born in World DE-1, a world that mirrors Earth in the 2000s. With her birth, a series of tragic loops was set in motion, which were gradually unraveled by the efforts of Arata Mizunashi and his team. With her goodwill restored, Iris created a copy of World DE-1 named World DE-1.5. Here, feuds gave way to friendship, each person a perfect cog in a perfect world. But a new crisis now threatens the peace. A mysterious man has entered the fray, and he leads a group of people who look identical to the world's former heroes. Our new hero, Sayaka Hiwatari, confronts the rising chaos, where friends and foes seem impossible to distinguish.

And so the battle with another world enters a new phase! Will you survive and escape?

Key Features:

  • Survive mazelike dungeons where death awaits around every turn!
  • Enhance weapons in town and prepare yourself for the battles ahead.
  • Spend time with friends, relax at home between dungeon runs and check your prized possessions!
  • Challenge the boss of each dungeon, rescue allies and escape before insanity takes hold.
  • Strategically plan your movements and pick your battles to avoid many possible death ends!
