The recently teased new Nippon Ichi Software title has been revealed to be a PS Vita exclusive called Yuusha Shisu., which translates as The Hero Must Die. The game is a remake of a 2007 mobile title and will sport new graphics and gameplay.
In it, the hero has defeated the demon king but died himself in the process. The problem is that the world is still under threat, so the gods give him five more days to live but return him to level one.
