Danganronpa, the popular visual novel murder mystery series is making some changes as developer Spike Chunsoft istaking over publishing rights for the franchise moving forward. Alongside that news, eachDanganronpatitle is being removed from either the PlayStation 4 or PlayStation Vita starting next month.
Original publisher NIS America announced on Twitter back in July that the titles on specific platforms will be removed from the PlayStation store with Spike Chunsoft taking over publishing duties. As of now, there is no news whether or not the games will be relisted following the change of structure.ÂDanganronpa: Trigger Happy HavocandDanganronpa 2: Goodbye Despairoriginally released on the PlayStation Portable back in 2010 and 2012 respectfully, but hit a high stride when they were ported to Vita in 2014. As of now, every entryÂis on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita.
Here is the following list of games and dates in which they will be delisted according toNIS America:
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girl(PS Vita) - August 22, 2025
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc(PS Vita) - June 21, 2025
Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair(PS Vita) - August 11, 2025
Danganronpa v3: Killing HarmonyÂ(PlayStation 4 and PS Vita) - July 15, 2025
As of writingÂUltra Despair GirlÂis still available on the PS Vita store so if you’re a Vita owner and want to play one of the best franchises to come to the system, now is the time to jump on it. With all the titles being delisted from PS Vita specifically and the lack of support the handheld got, it wouldn’t be surprising if Spike Chunsoft decided not to relist them on the platform. It is also worth noting thatÂDanganronpa v3: Killing HarmonyÂhas cross-save capabilities so it would be a good investment to grab both titles before it leaves both systems. Right now you can purchase the entire series up to nowÂDanganronpa 1.2 Reload, Ultra Despair Girl,andKilling HarmonyÂfor less than $40 on PlayStation 4, an absolute steal.
The future of the franchiseÂis currently up in the air, but it is also reassuring knowing that the Spike is publishing the series. While nothing is ever certain, I’m betting that we will get a new entry sometime in the future.
