As previously announced, the game will be available in standard and “Psycho Tropical Vacation Package” editions. The latter, priced at $139.99, includes a copy of the game, clamshell-style outer box, Kidrobot Psycho Tropical three-inch Monokuma and Monomi figures, an RSVLTS reversible Psycho Tropical bucket hat, and the Danganronpa 2×2 original soundtrack.
Here are the latest details, via Spike Chunsoft:
Slayhem Mode
Danganronpa 2×2 lets players experience Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair in two different modes. Players can choose between the revamped scenario in “Original” mode, which retells the story from the 2012 release with enhanced visuals and updated presentation for modern game systems, and “Slayhem” mode which features a new scenario based on Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, but completely different storyline. Both options are available from the start of the game.
In “Slayhem” a certain incident triggers a dramatically different chain of events with different victims, culprits, and tricks. Slayhem offers approximately 20 percent more content than Original mode.
World Map
The World Map has undergone a major update in Danganronpa 2×2. Whereas Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair featured a side-scrolling map for traveling between locations, Danganronpa 2×2 introduces a 3D World Map that gives players a clearer sense of the island’s layout. Players can navigate the island however they prefer, whether by freely running across the map or instantly traveling to a selected destination. The 3D map, when displayed from a first-person perspective, also evokes a tropical atmosphere.
Characters
Character portraits will feature new illustrations. A portion of the revamped character images are shared below.
