Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE+ is an enhanced ported version of Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE, which was released in June 2023 for the Nintendo Switch. The game is set to launch for the PC (Steam), PS5 and Xbox Series X❘S on July 18 in Japan and October 1 in the West. 

Coming from Kazutaka Kodaka, the creator of the Danganronpa series, RAIN CODE sold 300,000 copies in one month after its release, earning praise for its story and gameplay.

Details and shadows will be enhanced, making for more immersive cityscapes and improved character graphics. Another significant change in RAIN CODE+ are its reduced loading times. In addition, all five substories released as DLC for the Nintendo Switch version will be included. A new Gallery Mode will allow players to revisit cinematics and listen to the BGM.  

Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE+ is scheduled to release for the PC (Steam), PS5 and Xbox Series X❘S on July 18 in Japan and October 1 in the West. The Western release will support English and Japanese voiceovers, as well as English, Japanese, French, Italian, German and Spanish text.
