PSX 2016: Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony Brings Despair to PS4, Vita in 2017

Teehee

by Robert Ramsey Mon 5th Dec 2016

You know that Sony's PlayStation Experience 2016 showcase was packed when you end up completely forgetting about games like Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. The third main instalment in Spike Chunsoft's deliciously dark visual novel detective series, we've got high hopes for a great cast of characters and a storyline stuffed with intrigue.

Anyway, the title got a short new trailer at Sony's event which we've embedded above. It's coming to both PlayStation 4 and Vita in 2017.

Will you be taking part in this game of death? Mr. Monokuma, please don't punish us for forgetting about you in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

I. Can't. Wait.

Also, a special edition is available on the NISAmerica Online Store and will be coming to the EU web store tomorrow (or today? Timezones and stuff).

Argh, reminds me that I really need to go and start this series sometime. Seems right up my street but just can't find the time at the moment.

Are they going to tie this into the older games, I wonder, or is this an alternate continuity?

Excited either way.

@Ralizah They've said that it's a totally new story removed from the first two games, but I'm torn between believing them and moving on, and believing that they're trying to pull the wool over our eyes. I'd like it to be connected since I love those stories and I want to see how they'll pan out - in game form, not with the anime - but I guess it makes more sense commercially to start anew on PS4.

@johncalmc Yeah, I know, but I'm still not sure what that actually means. It could mean that it takes place in a different part of the same universe, but has no connection to the Hope's Peak saga. It could also mean the game is a reboot.
