Zero Escape Volume 3 Will Tell a New Tale on 3DS in 2016

Damn! Did not see this one coming!
Nice!

I'm more hyped about it than anything Nintendo is releasing this year and the next minus maybe, just maybe, Zelda U. That's about the extent of my hype, I'd say. I just love this franchise that much.

This should make alot of eager fans happy though I myself haven't even played the other two games. Too many games and not enough time.

Also confirmed for PSVita. Sure didn't think the day would ever come.

Best news of the year!

Awesome news! I hope this game brings the story to a satisfying ending. I'd love for the series to continue but I'd also hate it if we got left with another cliffhanger that may never be resolved. They could always start a new story with a similar premise.

Hell yeah, finally!

Take that, Europeans! This is payback for getting Yoshi first.

Heard good things about this game. Zero Escape has been on my 3DS wishlist for a while, though I'm waiting for a discount to finally click the purchase button.

Brilliant news! I'll import the Vita version from NA if it releases first, since it looks as though the European version could be delayed for a while.

So happy! This was the unannounced game I was most looking forward to! Gonna have to finally beat 999 before this comes out.

@abbyhitter immature much?

Am I the only one that doesn't even know what this is, or why it's exciting?

YASSSSSS!!! Love this series but if it doesn't come out in Europe in going to KILL NoE...literally

I want to play Zeroes Escape but I heard there's a game-breaking glitch in the 3ds version. Is this true?

@abbyhitter Seriously? You got Kirby several months before us. In fact you get most games before us, even if only by a couple of days.

@rishisquid You have some lovely links to the previous games in this very article if you feel like knowing about it.

I got so frustrated playing Virtue's Last Reward. I got really far, made a decision on somthing and thought 'Ooooh I wonder what would have happened if I tried the other option,' continued to reset my save and tried the other one and it deleted my game for making the wrong decision. Had to start from the beginning.
Haven't got the time or patience to play through the WHOLE thing again, even though I was enjoying the game. One day...

This more than makes up for Nintendo's crap E3. Day 1 buy definitely. One of the best video game series ever, and I'm not exaggerating.

YES!!!

Just make sure there isn't a game crashing bug in this one though.

I'm so excited! Now I just need European release date.

@Moon: The game has many different endings. If you stumble upon bad ending you should be able to click flow chart and choose any other point of time you've visited. There are many different paths and once you reach the end, the game will start you from the beginning but it's easy to skip everything you've done by using flow chart.

"and PlayStation Vita"

Oh, thank goodness. It's still on life support. Nabbed an early run of 999 off eBay, and have VLR from PlayStation Plus, where I'd prolly wanna play the followup... once I play the first two, uguu~

@nessisonett What has NoE to do with this? It's not their franchise and they've not published the other two games.

I'm very glad that Uchikoshi can finally complete his trilogy, from VLR texts it was very clear that it was written with the third game already planned, finally I can be hyped for a likely to come sequel!

@Moon As @Late said, the whole point of the game is to keep getting back to the choices and see what happens, no need to play or mess with the saves as it happens with other games ^_^;

Yes yes yes yes!

Better than Nintendo E3 2015.

Nice! I heard before that Zero Escape was planned as a trilogy, so I was pretty bummed when the lackluster sales figures of VLR caused a stop. Man, this is exciting!

Was watching the 4infinity countdown desperately hoping it would be true! Gf and I were crying with joy when the news broke :'-)
2016 will now see releases of my 4 most anticipated games!!!

Excellent news.

I'm sure someone will pick up the publishing duties for Europe. I'll be a bit sad if it ends up download only (I'd like a hard copy to match my 999 & Zero Escape), but it probably wouldn't happen any other way.

Day one buy!

What a great few weeks for announcements that many of us thought would never come! I'll probably get this on the Vita though. I picked up VLR on there due to the save bug on 3DS and it was gorgeous on the OLED screen.

Now the nervy wait for European news. It sounds like its digital only on both platforms in Japan and NA so no way to import the 3DS game anyway, and if have to buy a second memory card to assign to the U.S. region on my Vita.

I'm not surprised...I was waiting...but I'll still be waiting for a euro release!!

Hoping Rising Star Games will come through for European release, they did an extremely good job in releasing VLR in a short time frame.

I'm kinda wanting the voice acting to be in Japanese again like with VLR's European release. I got so used to everyone's voice and I just took a look at a video with NA version's English voice acting and it seems like they didn't quite nail everyone's voice. It's good but it could be better.

Huzzah. Huzz freaking zah.

happy dances

@Utena-mobile
I didn't encounter it myself, I think it was something that only came up if you saved in a particular puzzle room. So I just always saved during text/story segments and it turned out fine. (actually more specifically I time travelled back to a particular story segment at the start whenever I wanted to save, just to be safe and consistent)

This is so awesome. I've wanted this game to be announced more than any other game. Hopefully this gets a European release. If not, I'll have to buy a Vita and import this game.

@abbyhitter Shut up, no seriously just shut up.

This is a full story driven game while Yoshi is a small 2D platformer, if all the spoilers are put online before we in the UK get it then that's total bulls**t

Partying in amusement. This is as great as unexpected.

@abbyhitter No problem. regionthree/regionfour/NTR FTW until Nintendo grows up and removes region locking.

@abbyhitter So? The vita is region free, and the graphics are better than the 3ds version. I think that's the way to go for european fans of the series.

The best news I've heard all year.......so excited

@MightyKrypto It is also announced for the Vita? Way to go!

This is awesome!! Best news this month!

@scamander NoE really should be trying to campaign for a publisher. It would make business sense too because of the huge buzz that's been caused by this announcement.

@MightyKrypto
I won't buy again a Vita for one game. Especially with the huge game drought since last year and Sony saying they won't support it anymore. Will just wait the european version

SQUEEEEEEEEEE! This will probably be the first game I've bought brand new since Fire Emblem: Awakening.

Oh snap! Guess I need to grab Virtue's Last Reward soon!!

999 was one of the best games on the DS and VLR is my favorite game on the 3DS. It is hard to even express how excited I am for this game.

@bitleman Sony never said they stopped supporting the Vita. New games are still coming out for the system. E3 showed a vita trailer as well

Pretty great news!

@nessisonett The most likely scenario is, that there already is an European publisher and that it will be Rising Star Games, again.

@TossedLlama I'm really glad about the amount of comments here myself, as well as all the reactions in different places of the net. I also got to watch/hear the live reaction of the people who assisted to Aksys' panel... That was a really hype moment and I couldn't help but share in the excitement.

Good news, I hope it will be even better than 999 and VLR

Haven't played 999 and VLR yet, but was planning to do so this summer.
I just hope they don't ask some cheap European publisher to publish the game without English voice acting.

Yes, I'm excited. Too bad that 3DS has region lock though, I would import it from America. Now let's hope the European version is comming in 2016, not in 2017, later or never...

Ugh yes thank goodness. This totally came out of left field but I'm very pleased. It's unusual a series like this gets a third entry, let alone an excited fanbase about it.

Can anyone enlightened me as to why this game is so good?

I tried playing 999, never got through the very first scene. It's like playing Myst, with a dated gaming interface.

@Nintendian The Zero Escape games are a bit of an acquired taste. Definitely not for everyone. I'm probably not the best person to describe what's so good about this series though.

@Nintendian The answer is the story. The puzzles make it an interactive story and make it more personal and engaging for the player. The story is just amazing. If you aren't into the puzzles I think they released a puzzle-less version on the iPad to experience the story.

Here´s hoping for lots of good voice acting and excellent story.

OMG I might just import a North American 3ds for this game coz I'm Australian, really hope Vita version come out at the same time too because it is not region locked

This better come to Europe because I am legitimately more excited for this than any other recently announce game, 999 and Zero Escape are 2 of my all time favourite games!

Still haven't played through Virtue's Last Reward, honestly it didn't get me engaged anywhere near as well as 999 did.

Might be the japanese VAs which kinda annoyed me.
