Tribe Nine, a new mobile ARPG from Danganronpa creators Rui Komatsuzaki and Kazutaka Kodaka, is now open for pre-registration on Android and iOS! Pre-register to receive an exclusive skin and other rewards.

Komatsuzaki's art and Kodaka's design are hallmarks of the popular PSP visual novel and detective thriller, Danganronpa. This collaboration brings their signature style to Tribe Nine, 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 Parallel Cypher / Y skin for Koishi Kohinata. The game blends thrilling action with a retro aesthetic, featuring retro-style sprite exploration and full 3D battles. Players can customize their characters with equipment and unique Tension Cards.

Will Tribe Nine be a Hit?

While Danganronpa's popularity might have waned, its innovative blend of art and murder-mystery gameplay was groundbreaking for PSP visual novels. Tribe Nine boasts a distinctive visual style, but the mobile market is saturated with 3D turn-based battlers. It will require a unique element to stand out from the crowd.
