Danganronpa Decadence release date speculation: When does the four-game collection come to Switch?
Treat yourself to "a decade of despair" on Nintendo Switch.
Four games in the Danganronpa franchise are coming to Nintendo Switch as part of a new collection called Danganronpa Decadence, which is designed to celebrate 10 years of this gruesome school-set gaming series.
Developed by Spike Chunsoft, the Danganronpa series traditionally blends an educational setting with cold-blooded murder in a visual novel style (which means your fate is tied to your decisions and dialogue choices, as opposed to action sequences). Egged on by a sinister bear named Monokuma, the students in a school environment are encouraged to murder one another and try to get away with it - not unlike the premise of Among Us, in some ways!
Fans will be able to relive "a decade of despair" with this collection, which brings together the anniversary editions of three classic games - 2010's Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, 2012's Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, and 2017's Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony - and adds one new game to the mix, titled Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp, which is more of a digital board game than a visual novel.
