Danganronpa V3 Launch Trailer Shows Class Trials

NIS America began streaming a trailer for its Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony (New Danganronpa V3: Minna no Koroshiai Shin Gakki) mystery game on Tuesday to accompany the game's North American release. The video previews different aspects of gameplay, highlighting class trials.

NIS America released the game for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita on Tuesday in North America and plans to release it on Friday in Europe. The limited edition, which is only available on NIS America's online store, includes a "limited edition deluxe soundtrack," the original soundtrack for the game itself, a hardcover art book, a hat, a backpack, headphones, and a collector's box.

NISA describes the game:

Welcome to a new world of Danganronpa, and prepare yourself for the biggest, most exhilarating episode yet. Set in a “psycho-cool” environment, a new cast of 16 characters find themselves kidnapped and imprisoned in a school. Inside, some will kill, some will die, and some will be punished. Reimagine what you thought high-stakes, fast-paced investigation was as you investigate twisted murder cases and condemn your new friends to death.

The game is set at an academy fenced in by a massive cage. While the game inherits the mascot character Monokuma and the basic system from previous games, it doesn't take place at Hope's Peak Academy and stars a new cast of characters.
