Spike Chunsoft has announced an "enhanced" version of the Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony board game Ultimate Talent Development Plan is in the works. Priced at $19.99, it'll release for PS4 on 21st July 2022. The game originally launched for Nintendo Switch and received lukewarm reviews.
Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp brings together some of the series' most popular characters and has them compete in a board game on Jabberwock Island. You'll be rolling dice, playing cards, and improving the stats of whoever you choose to role-play as. In the Nintendo Switch version, you obtained these characters through their associated trading cards, which were sourced from vending machines. You could pay real money to use these machines, meaning microtransactions were a part of the experience.
A press release mentions over 1,000 event scenes are included as well as new swimsuit outfits for every character. "Also, players can now collect collab illustrations drawn for merchandise in the Mono Mono Machine!"
In a Nintendo Switch review on our sister site Nintendo Life, a 5/10 rating was awarded with the following conclusion: "While it's a fun time for fans, Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp is a total grindfest and plays almost the exact same way every time. With gameplay that's both luck-based and uninspiring, it's an incredibly tough recommendation to anyone but devoted series obsessives."

I really hope that someone will just steal the DR formula. I need more killing games in my life.
@Bismarck You probably already played the Zero Escape Games?
Even that $20 price seems a bit high due to all the grinding and microtransactions that are involved. I'm in no hurry to pick this up, but might give it a go once it goes on sale.
All the bonus modes in these games are absolutely dreadful. Blaitently the project of some poor intern that works at the studio they're so barebones and unfun, you'd have more fun playing flash games from 2002 than this garbage.
No way, I didn't even know this existed and now I've read about it and I wish I never found out.
I did find it surprising the Summer Camp thing didn't release for other systems initially, I guess Nintendo maybe got some kind of timed exclusivity deal back then.
I'm not sure if I'll bother with this one. I love Danganronpa, but the existence of microtransactions puts me off big time and especially for what's supposed to be just a silly, fun spin-off.
If the game was free-to-play I guess I could live with that - but it costs 20 bucks, so MTX can piss off honestly.
If you're a fan of Danganronpa AND Cartoons you grew up with, I highly recommend people check out 'Cartoons in Danganronpa' on YouTube, the premise is everything you've come to expect from the Danganronpa series, only it features beloved cartoon characters such as Dipper & Mabel (Gravity Falls), Zim, Dib & Gaz (Invader Zim), Ed & Eddy (Ed, Edd n Eddy), Blossom & Bubbles (Powerpuff Girls), Cartman & Kyle (South Park), Morty (Rick & Morty), Jenny Wakeman (My Life as a Teenage Robot), Star Butterfly (Star Vs The Forces of Evil), and Charlotte & Vendetta (Making Fiends), and it is brilliant.
@Bismarck - I recommend you check out 'Cartoons in Danganronpa' on YouTube, 16 characters from some of animation's best cartoon shows forced to participate in a killing game, from Gravity Falls to Ed, Edd n Eddy to Invader Zim to Powerpuff Girls to South Park to Rick & Morty and MORE!
LET'S GIVE IT EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT!!!
Swimsuits on MY Sony PlayStation?!
