If you're into the brutal teen-murdering, teddy bear creepiness of Danganronpa, then you'll be happy to hear that Tookyo Games - a studio that boasts members of the Danganronpa and Zero Escape teams - is bringing World's End Club, the game they previously teased on Apple Arcade, to the Switch.
Here's what Nintendo had to say about it:
"You and 11 others, known as the Go-Getters Club, set off on a captivating journey across Japan, and experience an adventure that blends side-scrolling action with a suspenseful narrative.
As you make your way back home to Tokyo, you’ll alternate between working solo and teaming up with the group to overcome challenges and monsters that stand in your way."
According to the game's wiki, World's End Club will combine action-puzzle gameplay and adventure modes, with full voice acting, a 20-hour story, and a mysterious clown that challenges the group of children to a "Game of Fate".
Safe to say, with this group of creators, this game is going to be creepy, weird, and probably contain a lot of murder. We can't wait.
The game will come out on Switch on the 28th May.

(insert edgy danganronpa joke here)
Whoohoo!!! Happy to see this coming to switch. It might not be Danganronpa but i'll take what I can get!
Concept of the game seems interesting and I like myself a surviving horror story so bring it on.
Doesn't look anything like Danganronpa, unfortunately. Some weird side-scroller.
I'll give it a chance, but my hopes aren't terribly high.
I loved Danganronpa (though I despise V3s ending), but I need more info before I commit to this. I am currently unsure what to think.
@Ralizah Its nothing like Danganronpa.
It's NOT a killing game. It's an exploration game of Japan - Tokyo.
I've watched a video of a guy playing it and was very disappointed with what it turned out to be.
Granted from what I can remember the game wasn't even finished yet so I'm still looking out if they change the formula a bit for the ending or second part of the game.
Maybe it's also just a diversion to get you attached to the characters once the killing game starts.
Looking forward to it. Looks like something actually new.
Been a while since I've heard about this one. It seems really interesting, I'm looking forward to it.
Honestly, that Nintendo Direct was much better then I was expecting. Only a few really meh titles in the line up. Glad to see to see this game finally get out of Apple Arcade.
Honestly I'm kind of expecting this to be more of a "subversion" of the types of games DR and ZE are. Instead of being kidnapped and trapped somewhere, the characters are exploring the world after everyone else vanishes! This seems more focused on exploration and character interaction because of the larger cast. I'm really looking forward to this one because of that
Sounds fun and the iOS version has decent ratings. So I might give it a go.
So I’m throwing my credit cards at the screen but no game...why?
Seriously as a big danganronpa fan I am looking forward to this.
I thought they were gonna say danganronpa for the switch too since they mentioned it 😅 kind of weird since none of them are on the switch yet 🤔
Pokemon trainers.
The good news is that if this game sells well. Danganronpa 1, 2 and V3 will soon follow. I am currently exploring the series on my Vita. And i must say if you are a fan of Phoenix Wright and the Persona series then Danganronpa is right up your alley. As for this game, i expect something less murder but with the still twisted storyline that we love from Zero Escape/Danganronpa series!
I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was twelve. Jesus, does anyone?
Hm, I very much enjoy this game's art style. Not the genre/gameplay I'd pick up, but the artists on the project definitely get two massive cheers from me. I may consider watching an LP for the art style alone. I wish the project success!
Speaking of which- Danganronpa should be on switch by this point! it was on portable consoles after all, and this is such a hot seller system it just seems a nobrainer.
For the record it looks like some boring old sides roller action game. If they weren't going to do a danganronpa-esque game the least they could do is try something more original.
Kotaro Uchikoshi is the Director and Scenario Writer so that means this is an immediate day 1 purchase for me.
So "It" and "Stand by Me" mixed together in a Japanese style game?
I see someone likes their Stephen King.
@broskiplays Question: I just got a PS Vita and found a used copy of Danganronpa 2. Can I play it without having played the first game, which isn't available? Love Phoenix Wright and I'm about to play Persona 4 Golden, so your comment got me interested in the Danganronpa series.
I'm glad it's not Danganronpa, I've played those loads already and would enjoy something different. One of the better announcements IMO.
I’ve completed this game on iOS and think it had good promise untill it ended with zero closure to the story (it’s a story game so this is a big deal)
The game waits untill you finish it and get the best ending before it tells you it is in fact only CHAPTER ONE and there appears to be no intent to make chapter two or any indication of how many “chapters” there will actually be.
Hard pass on paying anything more than £3 for this one, very firmly a mobile game.
@GH7Cloud the killing game is only the first 10% or so and is totally scripted storytelling puzzle platform gameplay. Then you get into what is essentially just a VN which has no ending as it’s only “chapter one” (something the game totally fails to mention anywhere in its marketing)
Imagine playing a VN which just ends with no conclusion, that’s this.
@Quarth Yes sir, you don't need to play the previous games to enjoy that one.
@broskiplays Since I asked you, I've actually got hold of a copy of the first game, which I've finished. It was excellent. Yet to play the second game.
@Quarth nice, have fun! It's a good sequel just a bit scarier.
