Spike Chunsoft revealed Danganronpa 2x2 with Slayhem mode—a standalone, expanded scenario with ~20% more content, plus a revamped 3D world map and new art—described as an enhanced version rather than a remake of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair; it’s delayed to early 2027 across Switch, PS4, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
Spike Chunsoft announced at Anime Expo that Danganronpa 2x2 will include a new 35-hour alternate scenario titled 'Slayhem,' five hours longer with 20% more content than the original, and has been delayed to early 2027 across Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with updated visuals, new voice actors for Monomi/Monokuma, and a deluxe Psycho Tropical Vacation Package.
Spike Chunsoft decided to remake Danganronpa 2 instead of the first game to avoid disrupting the original story, which is considered the root of the series. The remake features a completely new scenario starting after the same initial introduction, with significant story changes from the original. Danganronpa 2×2 is scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch in 2026.
Merchandise featuring characters from Danganronpa 1, 2, and V3 is available for pre-order through Amnibus, with a 'paint' theme showing characters in casual outfits, and ships in late January 2026. The collection includes various items like acrylic cards, keychains, badges, and stands, with international shipping available, and coincides with the upcoming release of Danganronpa 2 for multiple gaming platforms.

Master Detective Archives: Rain Code, developed by Spike Chunsoft and Too Kyo Games, serves as a spiritual successor to Danganronpa, offering a next-generation, dynamic visual novel experience. Set in the gloomy city of Kanai Ward, where it constantly rains, players take on the role of Yuma Kokohead, a detective-in-training with amnesia, as they solve crimes with the help of supernatural powers and unique abilities. The game features 3D exploration, mini-games, and a courtroom-like Mystery Labyrinth where logical deduction and evidence rebuttal are key. With a neon cyberpunk aesthetic, emotive character portraits, and a mix of jazz and melodic themes, Rain Code delivers a melancholic and beautiful world. While it has some flaws, the game excels in storytelling and building anticipation, offering a thought-provoking quest for truth.
