“I wouldn’t have time to make the game while playing GTA 6,” says Danganronpa creator, so obviously he delayed his new game
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Kazutaka Kodaka, creator of the Danganronpa series, announced that his upcoming remake Danganronpa 2x2 will not launch until 2027. He explained to Crunchyroll that the delay allows extra development time and, humorously, lets him play Rockstar’s forthcoming GTA 6 without compromising the project. Producer Shohei Sakakibara said the team chose the later date to avoid competing for attention with the high‑profile AAA title. Danganronpa 2x2 will expand the original game with a new “Slayhem” route, raising expected playtime from roughly 30 to 35 hours due to additional text. Kodaka hinted that a successful remake could revive interest in revisiting the first Danganronpa or its sequel V3. They also plan to overhaul character models and add new soundtracks for a refreshed experience overall today.
