Although we in Europe will be waiting until September 29 to get it, it has already been released in Japan as of January. We then got onto the matter at hand: Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. I hate aeroplanes so that was not a lot of fun. "I got here by aeroplane, so like a 12-hour plane ride and I am incredibly tired. We sat down with Kodaka to talk about what fans can expect from this latest game (with the help of a translator), as well as witnessing for ourselves what the game has to offer.īefore we started getting into the game, though, we had to ask Kodaka how he was enjoying his first visit to Europe, as he had been in Paris for the Japan Expo the week before. In London we were recently given a demonstration of Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, the latest instalment in this bizarre and gripping series, and during our time there we were also joined by series creator Kazutaka Kodaka, who was experiencing his first time in Europe. Add to this the fact that killers can only escape if they aren't found out, and that class trials exist to determine who is a killer or not, and you've got a bubbling pot of paranoia, suspicion, and investigation.

He traps these kids in a certain place, whether that be a school (like in Trigger Happy Havoc) or a tropical island (as in Goodbye Despair), and then proceeds to tell them that they can only escape by murdering a fellow student. Since the release of the first game there has been a number of new entries, and the game has slowly crept out of the world of handheld gaming onto the PC, PlayStation 4, and even mobile.įor those who don't know what the Danganronpa series is, each game focuses on a group of school children as they are forced into a survival situation by a sadistic bear called Monokuma. However, fans who had never experienced it before were able do so this year via a collection of the first and second games for the PlayStation 4. Danganronpa as a series is relatively niche, as the first game, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, was released all the way back in 2010 on the PlayStation Portable and PS Vita.
