Spike Chunsoft announced that all three mainline Danganronpa games will be coming to smartphones. Additionally, Danganronpa will be collaborating with mobile horror game Identity V Fifth Personality. This news came as part of the Famitsu and Dengeki Game Awards 2019 livestream, which was held on April 18, 2020 in Japan. [Thanks, Famitsu!]
Identity V is a 1v4 asymmetrical survival horror game with a Tim Burton-esque style. Like Danganronpa, the game uses gothic visuals and a suspenseful storyline. Identity V is available for both Android and Apple iOS devices. At the time of Famitsu’s livestream, there has not been a further announcement regarding when this collaboration will begin. However, Identity V shared a brief announcement trailer:
