Tribe Nine: Danganronpa Creator's Baseball Game Opens Pre-Registration

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

Komatsuzaki's art and Kodaka's design—hallmarks of the acclaimed PSP visual novel and detective thriller, Danganronpa—reunite in this exciting 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 a special Parallel Cypher/Y skin for Koishi Kohinata. The game blends thrilling action with a distinctive retro aesthetic, featuring retro-style sprite exploration and full 3D battles. Experiment with equipment and utilize Tension Cards to create unique character builds.

A New Hit?

While Danganronpa's popularity may have waned, its innovative blend of striking visuals and murder-mystery gameplay once redefined the visual novel genre. Whether Tribe Nine achieves similar success remains to be seen. Its unique art style is certainly eye-catching, but the 3D turn-based battle genre is highly competitive. Tribe Nine will need a unique hook to stand out from the crowd.
