Despair Girls will be releasing for the PS Vita in Fall this year

Danganronpa fans will be happy to know that their favourite murder mystery visual novel will be getting a new action-adventure spin off soon. NIS America have announced that the next entry in the series, Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, will be making its way to North America sometime in fall this year. The game was released in Japan on September 25th last year for the PS Vita.

Unlike the original series, Ultra Despair Girls is a third person action-adventure title which still retains a few puzzle elements. The game does feature some of the characters from the Danganronpa series such as Monokuma. Ultra Despair Girls takes place between the events of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. You can check out the announcement trailer for the game below:

Komaru Naegi, little sister to Makoto Naegi, has been imprisoned inside a mysterious apartment for over a year. One day, she is rescued by Byakuya Togami of Future Foundation, but the rescue is derailed by a sudden attack of hundreds of Monokumas. Komaru soon discovers that the city has been taken over by a group of children calling themselves the Warriors of Hope. Their leader, Monaca, declares that the city will be the site of a Children’s Paradise, and to accomplish this, all the adults will be exterminated. Komaru teams up with Toko Fukawa to try to survive the rampaging Monokumas, escape the crafty Monokuma Kids, and uncover the secrets of the city.

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is slated to release in North America and Europe sometime in Fall this year. The game will be available exclusively for the PlayStation Vita.
