Danganronpa Creator Kazutaka Kodaka, character artist Rui Komatsuzaki and composer Masafumi Takada have been fully occupied and busy since the crime series concluded with “The 2017”. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony (we’re ignoring Spike Chunsoft’s attempts to make a gacha game out of this)The cast of . They have since collaborated on the excellent cyberpunk anime Akaduma drive and that Danganronpa spiritual successor Master Detective Archives: Rain CodeNext they’re releasing something different: an “extreme baseball RPG” called Tribe Nine

.

Based on the anime of the same name. Tribe Nine is a free-to-play action RPG coming to Steam and mobile. The first trailer shows off Komatsuzaki’s distinctive character design, with the teenage cast getting into some skirmishes with both human and mechanical enemies. All of this is a sort of fighting/baseball hybrid that combines the sport with unbridled violence. The game is being jointly developed by mobile developers Akatsuki Games and Too Kyo Games, and will add new stories and areas through updates. The full story summary is as follows:

The developers’ approach. Tribe Nine Anime series is one of the few projects from Kodaka that I haven’t gotten around to yet, so I’ll have to get to it. If you haven’t checked out what these guys have been up to lately, Master Detective Archives: Rain Code is available on Switch and has a Introduction of the definitive edition on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on October 1st. I liked Rain Code when it launched last year, but it struggled on Nintendo’s console, so you may want to wait until it’s available on better hardware if possible.
