Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Anniversary Edition Launches for Xbox One, PC Game Pass

Spike Chunsoft released its Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Anniversary Edition game for Xbox One, Windows 10, Xbox Game Pass, and PC Game Pass on Monday.

Spike Chunsoft describes the game:

Jabberwock Island – once a popular tourist destination, this now uninhabited island remains oddly pristine. You and your classmates at the elite Hope's Peak Academy have been brought to this island by your super-cute teacher for a “lovey-dovey, heart-throbbing school trip.” Everyone seems to be having fun in the sun…until Monokuma returns to restart his murderous game! Trapped on this island of mutual killing, your only hope of escape rests in solving the island's mysteries. But be warned—sometimes the truth can be its own despair…

Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair originally launched in July 2012.

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc launched for Xbox One, Windows 10, Xbox Game Pass, and PC Game Pass on January 18.
