In an update to its announcement on the Identity V and Danganronpa V3 collaboration, NetEase has revealed which Survivors will get A skins when the event starts on August 3, 2023. As a reminder, the skins from previous Danganronpa collaboration events will return as well. NetEase has also revealed a large number of upcoming skins for the game, including one for a new character.
The Survivors who will get new Danganronpa V3 skins in identity V are:
- Acrobat: Kokichi Oma
- Journalist: Kaede Akamatsu
- Novelist: Shuichi Saihara
- “Prisoner”: Rantaro Amami
- Toy Merchant: Miu Iruma
Of these skins, only Journalist’s is an S-tier. The others are A-tier. Journalist is a relatively new character in the game. But it’s possible that NetEase chose her to represent Kaede due to her having an in-lore connection with Novelist. Novelist is the younger version of the Detective in Identity V, which connects him to Shuichi for reasons beyond aesthetics. NetEase has not yet uploaded showcases for the skins so it’s unclear if they have any special effects, such as how the Mikan skin for Doctor changed her syringe.
Other upcoming collaborations include one with the Hangzhou West Lake and Sanrio. NetEase also announced S skins for Aeroplanist (an unreleased Survivor), Grave Keeper, and Enchantress. There will also be a 5th Anniversary Essence featuring the Patient, “Psychologist,” and Photographer characters. Doctor, Painter, and Bloody Queen will also get new skins from existing costume series.
Identity V is readily available on mobile devices and Windows PCs. The Danganronpa V3 collaboration skins in Identity V will be available from August 3, 2023.
