Spike Chunsoft began streaming a trailer for its New Danganronpa V3: Minna no Koroshiai Shin Gakki (New Danganronpa V3: Everyone's New Semester of Killing) PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita on Tuesday. The video reveals the game's new protagonist and announces that the game is slated for January.
Sayaka Kanda will play the protagonist Kaede Akamatsu. Kanda previously played Junko Enoshima in the Danganronpa stage play. She also performed the opening and ending theme songs for Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School: Future Arc as part of Trustick.
The game is set in an academy fenced in by a massive cage. While New Danganronpa V3 will inherit the mascot character Monokuma and the basic system from previous games, it will not take place at Hope's Peak Academy and will not feature any other returning characters.
NIS America released the first and second Danganronpa games on PS Vita in North America and Europe in 2014 under the names Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. It also released the spinoff game Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls (Zettai Zetsubō Shōjo Danganronpa: Another Episode, or Absolute Despair Girl Danganronpa: Another Episode).
The first game was adapted into a TV anime in 2013. Funimation streamed the anime as it aired in Japan and later released the series on home video. Funimation is currently streaming both the Despair Arc and Future Arc for the Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School television anime.
