Tribe Nine, a new mobile ARPG from Danganronpa creators Rui Komatsuzaki and Kazutaka Kodaka, is now accepting pre-registrations for Android and iOS! Pre-register to receive an exclusive skin and other rewards.

Komatsuzaki's distinctive art style and Kodaka's design expertise, hallmarks of the popular PSP visual novel and detective thriller Danganronpa, are reunited in this exciting new title. Set in a dystopian Neo-Tokyo in 20XX, Tribe Nine casts players as teenagers competing in the deadly Extreme Games, orchestrated by the enigmatic Zero.

Pre-registration rewards include a Parallel Cypher / Y skin for Koishi Kohinata. The game blends intense action with a retro aesthetic, featuring retro-style sprite exploration of the overworld and full 3D battles. Players can experiment with equipment and utilize Tension Cards to create unique character builds.

Will Tribe Nine Hit a Grand Slam?

While Danganronpa's popularity may have waned somewhat, its innovative blend of art and murder-mystery gameplay was groundbreaking for the PSP. Tribe Nine's unique visual style certainly stands out, but the saturated mobile 3D turn-based battler market presents a significant challenge. The game will need a compelling hook to distinguish itself from the competition.
