I have a mixed history with the Danganronpa series: I loved the first one, hated the second one, and absolutely adore the third one. Well, spot on I say, because Spike Chunsoft announced that Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony Anniversary Edition will be released on iOS and Android on 26 May 2021.
If you’re unfamiliar with Danganronpa V3, here is the official synopsis from Spike Chunsoft:
Welcome to a new world of Danganronpa, and prepare yourself for the biggest, most exhilarating episode yet. Set in a ‘psycho-cool’ environment, a new cast of 16 characters find themselves kidnapped and imprisoned in a school. Inside, some will kill, some will die, and some will be punished. Reimagine what you thought high-stakes, fast-paced investigation was as you investigate twisted murder cases and condemn your new friends to death.
Forget what you thought you knew about Danganronpa and join a completely new cast of Ultimates for a brand-new beginning. In a world where everyone is trying to survive, nobody’s motivations are quite what they seem. Use your skills to solve each new murder or meet a gruesome end. The world is shaped by our perception of it. Fast-paced trial scenes will require lies, quick wits, and logic to guide your classmates to the right conclusions.
The game will support English, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese text alongside English and Japanese voice acting.
Here is what to expect when the game drops:
- A New Danganronpa Begins: Forget what you thought you knew about Danganronpa and join a completely new cast of Ultimates for a brand-new beginning.
- Murder Mysteries: In a world where everyone is trying to survive, nobody’s motivations are quite what they seem. Use your skills to solve each new murder or meet a gruesome end.
- Lie, Panic, Debate!: The world is shaped by our perception of it. Fast-paced trial scenes will require lies, quick wits, and logic to guide your classmates to the right conclusions.
- New Minigames: Between the madness of murdered peers and deadly trials, enjoy an abundance of brand-new minigames, including Ultimate Talent Development Plan, a board game where you raise your favorite characters to challenge Despair Dungeon: Monokuma’s Test, an RPG dungeon-crawl.
Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony Anniversary Edition will be available worldwide starting on 26 May 2021 for the fair price of $15.99.
