Danganronpa 2x2 video game release delay

Entities: Kazutaka Kodaka · Danganronpa 2x2 · Shohei Sakakibara · Spike Chunsoft · Danganronpa 2×2

Overview

The visual novel "Danganronpa 2x2," an alternative retelling of "Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair," has been delayed from a 2026 launch to early 2027. Developers Gemdrops and Spike Chunsoft, along with series creator Kazutaka Kodaka, cited the upcoming release of Rockstar Games' "Grand Theft Auto VI" as a primary reason for the rescheduling.

Producer Shohei Sakakibara indicated the move was intended to avoid a crowded release window dominated by major AAA titles. The upcoming game will feature updated graphics and a new scenario titled "Slayhem," containing approximately 120 percent of the content from the original title. It is scheduled for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
