Danganronpa: 2x2[a] (pronounced "two by two") is an upcoming visual novel game developed by Gemdrops and Too Kyo Games and published by Spike Chunsoft. It is set for release for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and Windows in early 2027.

Synopsis

Danganronpa 2×2 reimagines the characters and setting of the original Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair within the context of an alternate narrative. Sixteen uniquely talented students, known as "Ultimates", are gathered on a tropical island for a school trip which is hijacked by series antagonist Monokuma. In order to escape, they are forced to commit murder while avoiding suspicion from their peers in Class Trials; if they succeed, they are allowed to leave while the other students are executed; if the culprit is caught, they alone are executed.

Development and release

Danganronpa: 2x2's scenario is written by Yoichiro Koizumi, under supervision by series creator Kazutaka Kodaka. Other returning staff from the original include character designer Rui Komatsuzaki, and composers Masafumi Takada and Jun Fukuda.[1] The game was originally titled "Danganronpa 2: Take 2" during development, before being changed to the final title due to internal feedback.[2]

As part of the franchise's 15th anniversary, the game was revealed on September 12, 2025, during a Nintendo Direct presentation. It was scheduled for release in 2026, but was delayed to early 2027[3] and will release on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows.[4][1][5]

Danganronpa 2×2 has been referred to as a remake by Kotaku, Siliconera and Gamereactor.[5][6][7] Kodaka described the game as not being a remake, but a "retelling" of the Danganronpa 2 story.[8] Producer Shohei Sakakibara referred to the new story of Danganronpa 2×2 and the "remake" portion as being entirely separate.[5][6][7]
