Tribe Nine Pre-Registrations Now Open!

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 and Kodaka's design prowess, hallmarks of the PSP visual novel and detective thriller Danganronpa, are once again united in this exciting new title. Set in a dystopian Neo-Tokyo of 20XX, Tribe Nine casts players as teenagers competing in the lethal Extreme Games orchestrated by the enigmatic Zero.

Pre-registration rewards include the Parallel Cypher / Y skin for Koishi Kohinata. The game blends thrilling action with a retro aesthetic, seamlessly transitioning between a retro-styled 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, its innovative blend of art style and murder-mystery gameplay once set it apart from the typical visual novel. Tribe Nine boasts a unique aesthetic, but the saturated mobile 3D turn-based battle market presents a significant challenge. It will require a special touch to truly stand out.
