6/7/2023 0 Comments Zanki zero guide![]() Those taking a look at Zanki Zero for the first time would be excused if they thought it was in fact a Danganronpa title. ![]() ![]() We caught up with Terasawa-san and developer/publisher Spike Chunsoft at GDC and were treated to the first hands-on demo of the game in English as we picked the auteur’s brain along the way. Series creators Yoshinori Terasawa and Takayuki Sugawara could have simply been content to rest on the series’ laurels and continue churning out Danganronpas for years to come, but instead decided to launch an entirely new IP with Zanki Zero: Last Beginning. Since its launch in 2012, Danganronpa has seen numerous follow-ups and its quality and popularity has only continued to grow. The game turned out to be fantastic, however, quickly obtaining a following, with Monokuma arguably reaching the same pedigree as other Japanese game mascots like Prinny. Coming seemingly out of nowhere with a bizarre plot about a sentient robotic killer teddy bear pitting high schoolers against each other in a game of murder, the game (more of a visual novel) seemed like the definition of niche and something that would become a quickly forgotten import. One of the most pleasantly surprising video game IPs to be released in the last decade is Danganronpa.
