Kazutaka Kodaka teases ‘Limit x Despair’ title announcement in ‘not-too-distant future’

Danganronpa series and Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE creator Kazutaka Kodaka will announce an “insane” new title in the “not-too-distant future,” he said in a tweet today.

“The game I’m working so hard on right now—the scenario is so insane and so enthralling that I end up working more than anything else,” Kodaka said. “Even when things get difficult or troublesome, I end up either working or writing scenarios rather than playing or resting.

Additionally, the project after that is also nearing its critical phase, and new projects are starting up.

When that happens, what’s the result? Naturally, it places a heavy burden on all of our staff. However, the
