Death end re;Quest: Code Z Steam Release Announced

Idea Factory International announced that Compile Heart’s Death end re;Quest: Code Z will release on PC via Steam. The Steam release is currently set for later this year, following its western PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 release on May 13, 2025. The publisher also released a new minute-long gameplay trailer.

Death end re;Quest: Code Z features different gameplay to its predecessors, using turn-based roguelike combat and exploration with various terrains, enemies, traps, and more. The game revolves around the entity Iris and a multiple worlds concept. Iris was born in “DE-1 World”, which resembles 2000s Earth. After that world entered a spiral of tragedy, Iris created a replica known as “DE-1.5 World” and set it up to be more idyllic. However, a new threat emerges and sees new protagonist Sayaka Hiwatari facing chaos involving friends and foes. It includes a mixture of returning and new characters, with its story connecting to the previous titles and is said to contain significantly more gruesome events and character death scenes than its predecessors.
