Plan your escape for Zero Escape Volume 3 next summer

Zero Escape Volume 3

[Update: Amazon has a pre-order page for Zero Escape Volume 3 up already.]

It’s happening! After claiming that there was probably no chance that the Zero Escape trilogy would be finished up, Aksys Games has confirmed that Zero Escape Volume 3 is in development and is scheduled for a summer 2016 release for the PS Vita and Nintendo 3DS. The big news was dropped during the recent AX2015 Anime Expo.

The series, which started off with Zero Escape: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors for the Nintendo 3DS and then Zero Escape: Virtue?s Last Reward for the 3DS and PS Vita, has a rather passionate fanbase, so we’re sure that this confirmation was pretty damn exciting for fans.

Check out the somewhat vague details below or head on over to the official site.

Many government organizations have dismissed our urgent warnings regarding the upcoming game event called Zero Time Dilemma. Recent intelligence has escalated our plans and we have come to the decision to contact gamers about the dangers directly. Our ultimate goal has always been to protect the public from the horrific consequences we have foreseen, but it appears our mission to prevent it from occurring may have failed. It is imperative that you make every effort to prepare yourselves for the oncoming deadly game, so that you may survive the coming apocalypse.

An antidote for the game is predicted to be created, but much further down this timeline, and as such there is no defense from its effects. It will be most easily identifiable on Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita handheld entertainment system, though it is transmittable through the air so the spread may increase even more rapidly through the PlayStation Store and Nintendo eShop.

Do not be tempted by familiar faces, fully voiced cinematics, multiple endings, or voices in both Japanese and English, as those are signs that the apocalypse is nigh. We suggest that you put extensive effort into improving your puzzle solving skills, as they will be  vital to your survival.

We at Crash Keys beg for your assistance in notifying everyone you can so that no one is left in the dark about this dangerous game. The world will end up in a tumultuous uproar, and ultimate consequences will be unavoidable unless word gets out. Use all the time available to you before the summer of next year to contact your loved ones and prepare; our intelligence hasn?t been able to focus in on an exact date at this time. Do not fear ? we are here to protect you and prepare you to our utmost ability so that you may survive. You  will survive. We will use all channels available to contact you with updates as soon as we uncover them. You must be ready.
