Tribe Nine, the mobile ARPG featuring Danganronpa veterans Rui Komatsuzaki and Kazutaka Kodaka, is now open for pre-registration on Android and iOS! Pre-register to receive an exclusive skin and other rewards.

Komatsuzaki's art and Kodaka's design, hallmarks of the PSP visual novel and detective thriller Danganronpa, reunite in this new title. Set in a dystopian Neo-Tokyo of 20XX, players join a group of teenagers competing in the perilous Extreme Games, orchestrated by the enigmatic Zero.

Pre-registration rewards include the Parallel Cypher/Y skin for Koishi Kohinata. The game blends thrilling action with a retro aesthetic, characteristic of Kodaka and Komatsuzaki's collaborations. Explore a retro-styled overworld before engaging in full 3D battles. Experiment with equipment and utilize Tension Cards to create unique character builds.

While Danganronpa's popularity might have waned, its innovative blend of art style and murder-mystery gameplay once set it apart. Tribe Nine's unique aesthetic is undeniable, but the saturated mobile 3D turn-based battle market presents a challenge. The game will need a compelling hook to distinguish itself.
