Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony Game's Smartphone Version Launches Worldwide

Spike Chunsoft launched the Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony Anniversary Edition game for Android and iOS worldwide on Tuesday.

The game launched in English and Japanese with English, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese subtitles.

The game was originally slated for its Android and iOS release on May 26, 2021, but underwent a delay due to the detection of a "major flaw" during its final checking process.

Spike Chunsoft describes the game:

A new cast of 16 characters find themselves kidnapped and imprisoned in a school. Inside, some will kill, some will die, and some will be punished. Reimagine what you thought high-stakes, fast-paced investigation was as you investigate twisted murder cases and condemn your new friends to death

Spike Chunsoft announced the releases of the Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, and Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony games for smartphones in April 2019. The smartphone versions of the game include a revised interface including touchscreen play. The smartphone versions also include an event gallery, a facial expression and voice gallery, and a settings materials gallery. All three games will include the new subtitle "Anniversary Edition."
