Curator Notes

Death end re;Quest 2 follows Mai Toyama, who flees her past to the mountain town of Le Choara to search for her missing sister, investigating by day and fighting creatures of the Darkness by night. It released on PlayStation 4 in Japan in February 2020. The Nintendo Switch version was download-only in Japan; Idea Factory International issued it physically in North America on February 8, 2022. The filing follows the first game in the Death end re;Quest lineage.

Collection Documentation

Preservation Notes

Access Hardware: Nintendo Switch; compatible Nintendo Switch family hardware
Original Hardware: Nintendo Switch
Playback Compatibility: Nintendo Switch software is region-free. The retained game card is the primary access copy and runs on any Nintendo Switch console.
Preservation Concerns: Game cards are flash media; long-term charge retention, contact wear, and loss of the small card from its case are the principal risks. Any content delivered as an eShop download or update depends on Nintendo’s servers and is not preserved by the card alone.
Edition History: PlayStation 4 release in Japan on February 13, 2020; North America August 25, 2020. Nintendo Switch release in North America on February 8, 2022 (HAC-P-A4TRB); Europe February 11, 2022.
Access Status: Distributed at retail by Idea Factory International, with a digital edition on the Nintendo eShop.
