Nintendo Directs are known for a barrage of trailers, but this September’s presentation presented more than just updates on the latest Zelda games. Among the highlights was the announcement of Danganronpa 2x2.

Although it appears to be a remaster of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, there are added elements that suggest it includes an alternate storyline akin to a sequel. As stated on the Steam page, “The original setting and cast of characters are back, but a single incident sets off a completely different chain of events! New victims, new culprits, and brand-new tricks await. The new scenario offers the same volume of content as the original, delivering a complete and immersive experience.”

The Danganronpa series is renowned for its unique blend of visual novels and murder mysteries, forcing gifted students into a deadly game where failing to identify the murderer results in dire consequences.

This intriguing package raises questions: Is Danganronpa 2x2 a reskinned remaster, a complete remake, or a setup for Danganronpa 4? Additionally, fans are hopeful for better localization than previous installments, with a release expected in 2026.
