A new Death Note game is on the horizon! Rated for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 by the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee, Death Note: Killer Within promises an exciting new entry in the franchise.
Bandai Namco – A Likely Publisher
The game's publisher is expected to be Bandai Namco, a company with a proven track record of adapting popular anime into successful video games. While official details are scarce, the rating suggests a formal announcement is imminent. This follows June's trademark registrations by Shueisha (Death Note's publisher) in Europe, Japan, and the US. While initially listed as "Death Note: Shadow Mission" by the rating board, the English title is confirmed as Death Note: Killer Within. Note that the game listing may have since been removed from the website.
Speculation and Franchise History
Gameplay and plot details remain shrouded in mystery, but anticipation is high. Given the series' psychological themes, fans anticipate a suspenseful experience mirroring the manga and anime. Whether it will focus on Light Yagami and L's iconic rivalry or introduce new characters and storylines remains to be seen.
Previous Death Note games, such as Death Note: Kira Game (2007, Nintendo DS), Death Note: Successor to L, and L the ProLogue to Death Note: Spiraling Trap, were primarily point-and-click deduction games, mostly released in Japan. Killer Within could be the franchise's first major global release.
