Danganronpais a quirky, often bizarre series that has nonetheless captured many players' attention. With stories that revolve around high schoolers trapped and forced to kill each other for survival, many have wonderedwhat’s in store forDanganronpain 2021.
Now that question is answered. A new title for the Nintendo Switch, announced during the Nintendo showcase at E3, has been revealed:Danganronpa Decadence. A remastered collection of three titles from the series, it puts together the threeDanganronpagames that most closely follow the formula set out by the original title. It also revamps a mini-game from one of those titles into a full game on its own.

Danganronpa Decadencecombines three games into one collection:Danganronpa,Danganronpa 2, andDanganronpa v3. While there have been spinoffs ofDanganronpabefore that are more action-oriented, each of these three titles follows the originalDanganronpagameplay loop.
Players take the role of one student of many trapped somewhere by Monokuma, an impossible talking bear. Students can escape by murdering each other, but each time there’s a murder, the player must participate in a trial where they deduce the guilty party. In this way, players can once more experiencethe best and worst trials ofDanganronpa. In addition, the board game fromDanganronpa v3has been expanded into a new standalone title:Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp.
The game that evolved intoDanganronpa Sstarted as a board game and miniature turn based battle game. In its new form, the game is expanded, presumably to have a full story with an all star cast. This means that, presumably, players can expect characters from previous titles to all come together to battle Monokuma themed foes in an RPG fashion. Seeing as this was not one of themore divisive elements ofDanganronpa V3, it’s likely many fans will want to check out the new board game.
WhileDanganronpa Decadencewill collect all four games in one, each of the games will also release individually on the Nintendo eShop. This means that players missing only one or two games from their library can pick and choose. WithDanganronpagames leaving the PlayStation Store, the Switch may well be the go to place to get them all.
There’s no official release date yet, but the games will release during this year. Of course, there’s more than murder to look forward to, as the games also focus on growing friendships similar to thePersonaseries. Time to look up allthe proper gifts forDanganronpa 2all over again.
