Tribe Nine, from the creator of Danganronpa, set to open pre-registration

Tribe Nine, a mobile ARPG boasting the talents of Danganronpa creators Rui Komatsuzaki and Kazutaka Kodaka, is now open for pre-registration on Android and iOS!

Pre-register to secure an exclusive in-game skin and other rewards, including the Parallel Cypher / Y skin for Koishi Kohinata. This collaboration brings together the distinctive art style and thrilling gameplay elements that defined Danganronpa.

Set in a dystopian Neo-Tokyo in the year 20XX, Tribe Nine plunges players into the high-stakes world of Extreme Games, orchestrated by the enigmatic Zero. Players control a team of teenagers navigating this deadly competition.

The game seamlessly blends retro-inspired sprite-based exploration with full 3D battles, a hallmark of Kodaka and Komatsuzaki's previous collaborations. Players can customize their characters with various equipment and utilize Tension Cards to create unique and powerful builds.

Will Tribe Nine Hit a Home Run?

While Danganronpa's popularity might have waned, its innovative blend of art style and murder-mystery gameplay once set it apart in the visual novel landscape. Tribe Nine aims to capture that same magic, but faces stiff competition in the saturated mobile 3D turn-based battle game market. Its unique aesthetic is a strong point, but it will require a special something to truly stand out from the crowd.
