Tribe Nine Pre-Registration Opens, Bringing Neo-Baseball to Fans

Tribe Nine, a new mobile ARPG from Danganronpa creators Rui Komatsuzaki and Kazutaka Kodaka, is now accepting pre-registrations for Android and iOS! Pre-register to receive an exclusive skin and other rewards.

Komatsuzaki's distinctive art and Kodaka's design are hallmarks of the popular PSP visual novel and detective thriller, Danganronpa. This collaboration brings a similar blend of style and intrigue to Tribe Nine, set in a dystopian Neo-Tokyo in the year 20XX. Players take on the role of teenagers competing in the deadly Extreme Games, orchestrated by the enigmatic Zero.

Pre-registration rewards include the Parallel Cypher / Y skin for Koishi Kohinata.

The game blends deadly action with a retro aesthetic, reminiscent of previous Kodaka/Komatsuzaki collaborations. Explore a retro-styled overworld before engaging in full 3D battles. Experiment with equipment and Tension Cards to create unique character builds.

While Danganronpa's popularity may have waned, its innovative blend of art and murder-mystery gameplay once set it apart. Whether Tribe Nine achieves similar success remains to be seen. While its aesthetics are unique, the 3D turn-based battler genre is saturated, requiring Tribe Nine to offer something truly exceptional to stand out in the crowded mobile market.
