The newest crossover event in NetEase’s asymmetrical horror game Identity V will be with Bungo Stray Dogs. NetEase will announce more information on the release window and characters in the near future. Like in previous events, players can obtain costumes to make existing characters look like crossover ones.
Bungo Stray Dogs is a manga and anime series that follows Atsushi Nakajima after Osamu Dazai of the Armed Detective Agency rescues him. Atsushi and other key residents of Yokohama have special powers. For example, Atsushi can turn into a tiger. Those familiar with Japanese classical literature may recognize the names. While Bungo Stray Dogs is a fantasy and action series, all of the characters are loosely inspired by real classical authors and poets.
Identity V has had multiple crossover events with brands and other intellectual properties in the past. Crossover events usually include exclusive and limited skins, accessories, and pets. In the past, NetEase has collaborated with Death Note, The Promised Neverland, and Danganronpa.
Identity V is available on mobile devices and Windows PC, whereas Bungo Stray Dogs is on streaming services such as Crunchyroll. Season 4 of Bungo Stray Dogs is in development. More information on the crossover event will appear in the near future.
