Hello again, despair! Danganronpa 2×2, a remake of the visual novel/adventure game Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, is coming in 2026 to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, Switch, and PC via Steam.

Danganronpa 2×2 is being developed by Gemdrops, the studio behind Star Ocean: The Second Story R and Crystar, and published by Spike Chunsoft. According to the official website, series creator Kazutaka Kodaka is involved with the project in a supervisory role.

Check out below for the teaser trailer shown at the recent Nintendo Direct.


Aside from the requisite improvements to visuals (those wobbly character sprites will take some getting used to, not gonna lie), the big addition to Danganronpa 2×2 is a new scenario triggered by a “certain incident”, spurring a new chain of events with different victims and culprits. Of course, the original scenario will still be available.

The ultimate comeback with a brand-new scenario
Danganronpa 2×2 includes a brand-new scenario based on Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. The setting and cast of characters remain the same, but a certain incident triggers a completely different chain of events with different victims, culprits, and tricks. This new scenario offers a volume of content on par with the original.

Improved original scenario
The original scenario of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair has been updated with new visuals and production value for modern game systems. Players will experience the shocking story, revamped to deliver a more beautiful and satisfying gameplay experience.
