Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair is considered one of my favourite video games of all time, however revisiting a homicide thriller recreation means all of the solutions, and there aren’t any surprises. Nicely, Spike Chunsoft has discovered a option to get round that with Danganronpa 2×2, an enhanced remake of the visible novel coming to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Collection X/S, and each Change consoles in 2026.
The sport was introduced throughout at the moment’s Nintendo Direct, and is de facto two video games in a single, thus the title. On high of a totally revamped visible presentation for the unique recreation, Danganronpa 2×2 additionally features a new “what if” situation that modifications up the killers, victims, and storylines. The brand new story is being supervised and written by authentic creator Kazutaka Kodaka and different members of Too Kyo Video games. So in case you have been anxious that Spike Chunsoft was merely doing one other money seize with out the unique creators’ involvement like Danganronpa S, you’ll be able to loosen up: that doesn’t appear to be the case this time.
Try the trailer beneath:
I’m tremendous treasured in regards to the authentic Danganronpa trilogy, and would have been fairly irritated if Spike Chunsoft selected to proceed that story and trample throughout its conclusion. However a remixed story that’s apparently simply so long as the unique recreation is a enjoyable idea that may make it recent with out me getting too in my emotions about “canon.” I’m allowed! Danganronpa‘s authentic storyline is considered one of my favorites in video games, and its conclusion in Danganronpa 3: The Finish of Hope’s Peak Excessive Faculty doesn’t have to be expanded upon. If Kodaka and his crew are engaged on this, it’s the best-case situation in my view. Plus, having the ability to replay the unique recreation with new visuals and presentation is an added bonus. I’m prepared to move again to Jabberwock Island and topic myself to Monokuma’s killing recreation once more.
