Twinfinite interviewed Kodaka-san and asked exactly that question. He replied that he wanted to make a new IP, and Spike Chunsoft didn’t push for a new Danganronpa game, nor he inquired about that possibility.
Kodaka-san also explained that he isn’t against the idea of creating a new Danganronpa game at some point, but now he simply has other priorities.
To be honest, if ask Spike Chunsoft whether I should make a new Danganronpa title, they might say yes, so I didn’t ask (Laughs).
He then added that he isn’t interested in taking the safe option of sticking with the established IP.
Danganronpa is more of a niche game, and now I’m working on a bigger one, but it’d be cool to go back to Danganronpa at some point afterward.”
Of course, you should stay tuned on Twinfinite for the full interview that will be published soon.
Master Detective Archives: Rain Code (which was originally announced last year), carries the signature of Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka, while the character design is by Rui Komatsuzaki and the music is by Danganrompa maestro Masafumi Takada.
The game launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch in the spring of 2023.
