Danganronpa Another Episode coming west this fall
Action adventure spin-off set between first two games.
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is coming to North America and Europe via both retail and digital this fall, NIS America announced.
The action adventure game is set between the events of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. After the horrors of Hope’s Peak Academy ended, society is on the verge of collapse and violent anarchy has engulfed the world in despair. Players will take control of two heroines, Komaru Naegi and Toko Fukawa, as they attempt to escape Towa City.
The western release will include both Japanese and English audio.
At NIS America’s reveal event this evening, Danganronpa series producer Yoshinori Terasawa was on hand for the announcement. According to the producer, Another Episode was created because they couldn’t figure out what to do with Danganronpa 3, even though it was something they wanted to create. So the team challenged themselves to create a spin-off action game. (Thanks, Tononet, 2).
