ZOE2 HD EDITION

Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner (originally known as "ANUBIS: Zone of the Enders" in Japan) is the sequel to Zone of the Enders.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions
Listed below are frequently asked questions regarding Zone of the Enders. The questions and answers henceforth are focused primarily on The 2nd Runner and anything closely related.

Q: What happened to Zone of the Enders HD Edition on PlayStation Vita? Wasn't it announced at E3 2011?
A: It was indeed announced back then. There has been no word from KONAMI regarding ZOE on PS Vita since. It has likely been silently canceled.
Q: What happened to Jehuty in the time between Zone of the Enders and The 2nd Runner?
A: This is actually answered on the old official site for The 2nd Runner in the "STORY BETWEEN" area.
Q: Hideo Kojima, who is known for Metal Gear, Policenauts, Snatcher, et. al., comes up often on the subject of Zone of the Enders. Is The 2nd Runner one of his games?
A: The 2nd Runner, or ANUBIS, or simply ZOE2, was written and directed by Shuyo Murata. The confusion likely comes from Hideo Kojima serving as the executive producer at the time.
