Kodaka shared how he is fervently preoccupied with working on a new game, which is unlike any of his previous projects. Furthermore, the hashtags he used suggest that he could be talking about <strong>Extreme x Despair<\/strong>, the long-awaited collaboration with Zero Escape writer Kotaro Uchikoshi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u4eca\u3001\u5168\u529b\u3067\u4f5c\u3063\u3066\u308b\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u3001\u30b7\u30ca\u30ea\u30aa\u304c\u3001\u30de\u30b8\u3067\u72c2\u3063\u3066\u3066\u3001\u9762\u767d\u3059\u304e\u3066\u3001\u4f55\u3092\u3059\u308b\u3088\u308a\u3082\u4ed5\u4e8b\u3092\u3084\u3063\u3066\u3057\u307e\u3046\u3002\u8f9b\u3044\u4e8b\u3084\u9762\u5012\u306a\u4e8b\u306a\u3069\u3042\u3063\u3066\u3082\u3001\u904a\u3073\u3084\u4f11\u307f\u3088\u308a\u3082\u4ed5\u4e8b\u3084\u30b7\u30ca\u30ea\u30aa\u3084\u3063\u3066\u3057\u307e\u3046\u3002\u3053\u3053\u307e\u3067\u4f5c\u54c1\u306b\u53d6\u308a\u6191\u304b\u308c\u305f\u306e\u521d\u3081\u3066\u304b\u3082\u3002\u4ffa\u306f\u3053\u308c\u3067\u71c3\u3048\u5c3d\u304d\u308b\u3093\u304b\u306a\u3042\u3002\u2026<\/p>&mdash; Kazutaka kodaka\/\u5c0f\u9ad8\u548c\u525b (@kazkodaka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kazkodaka\/status\/1748177347424260366?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 19, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Post translation:<\/strong> <em>The game; scenario that I\u2019m working on with all my might at the moment is so insane and so interesting that I keep doing nothing but work.

Many have taken this as a sign that Kodaka is talking about the previously teased<strong> <\/strong>Extreme x Despair<strong> <\/strong>collaboration project with Kotaro Uchikoshi. The joint game with the Zero Escape writer was first unveiled back in 2018, following the establishment of Too Kyo Games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Too Kyo Games was founded by Kodaka and other former employees of Spike Chunsoft, including Uchikoshi and the Danganronpa illustrator Rui Komatsuzaki. Their joint title Extreme x Despair has been heavily anticipated ever since it was first revealed, with Danganronpa and Zero Escape fans making various hypotheses on what the game will be about. Going by Kodaka\u2019s recent X update, it might not be long before we get to find out more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wishing you a Happy New Year! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2ho5np5Nvk\">pic.twitter.com\/2ho5np5Nvk<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u30c8\u30a5\u30fc\u30ad\u30e7\u30fc\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u30b9 (@TooKyoGames) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TooKyoGames\/status\/1079757093152841729?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 31, 2018<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka has possibly teased the announcement of Extreme x Despair, calling its scenario &#8220;insane.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":25837,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-25834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
