This work is the official title of “Death end re;Quest Code Zion'' (tentative title) announced last year, and is said to have story-related connections with past RPG works. In addition, the CERO rating is “Z” (for ages 18 and over), and the series' popular element, “Death's End,” has been powered up to an even more despairing depiction. Specifically, it is full of event scenes that vividly depict characters' bloodshed and what they look like after death. It seems that the sense of realism has been greatly increased with powerful SE, such as bones breaking, flesh torn, and necks being twisted.

In addition, the battles are drawn in a roguelike RPG, and the “Strain Area'' appears as a 3D dungeon whose structure changes each time you enter.
