Danganronpa: Another Episode's 2nd Promo Video Streamed

Spike Chunsoft unveiled a second promotional video on Monday at the SCEJA Press Conference for its upcoming Zettai Zetsubō Shōjo Danganronpa : Another Episode (Absolute Despair Girl Danganronpa: Another Episode) spinoff game.

The PlayStation Vita game will ship in Japan on September 25. The story takes place between Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair and will star Makoto Naegi's sister. Five new characters calling themselves the "Warriors of Hope" lead the "Monokuma Kids," who are killing adults. The game will be the first game in the series to include fully-animated cut scenes.

The game will star Aya Uchida as Komaru Naegi and Miyuki Sawashiro will return as Tōko Fukawa. Makoto Naegi (voiced by Megumi Ogata), Byakuya Tōgami (Akira Ishida), and Nagito Komaeda (also voiced by Megumi Ogata) will also return, though Komaeda is listed as "Servant." The game will also introduce Shirokuma and Kurokuma, who work with the resistance and the Warriors of Hope, respectively.

Other new characters include:

• Megumi Han as Hero Masaru Daimon
• Kazusa Aranami as Warrior Kotoko Utsugi
• Sumire Uesaka as Monk Jatarō Kemuri
• Mariya Ise as Sage Nagisa Shingetsu
• Aya Hirano as Wizard Monaka
• Shinichirō Miki as Haiji Tōwa
• Chihiro Ishiguro as Hiroko Hagakure
• Tōko Aoyama as Yuta Asahina

NIS America released the PlayStation Vita port of the first Danganronpa game in North America and Europe early in February under the name Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, and plans to release the second game, Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, in North America on September 2 and in Europe on September 5.
