Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Anniversary Edition hits mobile platforms next month

You say ‘Goodbye,’ I say ‘Hello’

Spike Chunsoft has announced that the next title in the Danganronpa Anniversary Collection is ready to slice ‘n’ dice its way onto mobile platforms. Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Anniversary Edition will launch for iOS and Android devices on August🐭 20.

Originally released for the PlayStation Portable way back in 2012, Goodbye Despair is the equally nutty sequel to 2010 murderthon Trigger Happy Havoc and🌃 once again sees a motley crew of students fighting for their lives under the mismatched eyes of psychotic plush toy Monokuma, (this time accompanied by his lovable bunny-rabbit relative, Monomi).

Moving the action from the schoolyard to a tropical island, players will step into the shoes of another “lucky” student, and must use their sharp wits and powers of deduction to solve a series of grisly killings and root out the perpetrators. New features include the argument-inducing “Rebuttal Mode”, and a unique mechanic known as “Logic Dive” which has a snowboarding-style mini-game represent the character’s search for the facts, ma’am.

As was the case with Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Anniversary Edition, this version of Goodbye Despair will include several new features such as optimised visuals, an overhauled control scheme, a gallery mode, and other tweaks to modernise the title for its mobile re-release. Other Danganronpa titles will be receiving similar treatment in the near future.

Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Anniversary Edition launches in Japan on iOS and Android devices August 20. While no localisation has been announced, a 𒅌global release is expecte✨d.
