Danganronpa 2 Remake Extends the Story with a New Scenario on PS5

... WHAT?!?! 😮

Where did this come from?! Was this in the Nintendo direct?!

Either way I'm ecstatic! This is my favourite in the series!

Unexpected but WELCOME

Why this "revamp visuals" sounds like a mockery towards the original game that still looks good? 😅

But i already beat this game years ago. So i'll stick with my Vita copy.

@johncalmc Hopefully they do the same with the first game

I may be excited or horrified at the idea of another game in this series having an alternative story mode, because I may be begging or mortified about the idea of a certain character’s fate being different.

Have a guess who I’m talking about.

I’ve played all the Danganranpa games, but I can’t say I’m a big fan of them.

I thought they already did this on Switch with new modes.

@Fluberuper I’ve played all three and I’m in agreement. My biggest issue was that I wholeheartedly disliked the villain of the first game to start, and let’s just say it doesn’t improve from there and I just kept getting disappointed by the end of each game.

As much gameplay as the original? But the original was already hours of content!

I mean I guess the new content is the main highlight but why not just make new game at that point. And while it does look a little better and shinier it still mostly looks the same. Still a bit excited about it nonetheless lol

You've got a slight mistake at the bottom of the article. The character designer isn't Kazutaka Kodaka, it's Rui Komatsuzaki.

That announcement came out of nowhere. I'm a bit cautious of them touching the story after all this time, but hopefully the new extra scenario will be up to the standards of the original.

The 2nd game in the series was always the worst one in my opinion. I still liked it though, so I’m looking forward to this.

Interesting this comes shortly after I finish up the original (Switch version)...Wonder if the new content will expand on some of the mysteries surrounding the original's gifts (we know the owner of that memory notebook has a name beginning with "Ky" and also including a "ko" and an "oto")? And hopefully they address some of the more questionable localization bits, especially in that schmuck-bait "Guess the Killer Challenge" of chapter 1 (the Switch version of that literally left a PlayStation button prompt on one of the choices [the Circle on "Guess the Killer Challenge"; the other option was labelled for the Switch's A button], and if one were to compare the face clusters to focus on position rather than label, both choices were essentially on the same button!)...

Granted, if we need new material out of the two-toned bear, they'll need to run another recast, given how last year wasn't exactly kind as far as Monokuma's voice acting was concerned (first we lost the voice actor well-known as the lead in Chibi Maruko-chan, then we lost the 1979 Doraemon lead voice actor)...

YIPPEE

Also, the character designer is Rui Komatsuzaki, not Kazutaka Kodaka. Lots of Too Kyo Games staff working on this which is great to see, the new storyline is VERY appealing to me

Danganronpa 2x2 = Danganronpa 4 👀?

Well... are they planning a branching timeline? That would be cool.
I played the original and have no interest in replaying but the new scenario may make this worthwhile. It's a way to get out of the V3 series ending.

@shonenjump86 Interesting opinion.

I always heard from most opinions that V3 tends to be the most controversial because of the ending.

It will be released physical!
