Announced during the latest Nintendo Direct showcase, Master Detective Archives: Rain Code is the new detective action title from the minds behind the Danganronpa series.
Due for launch in Spring 2023 (the pre-order pages currently display a launch date of June 30th, 2023, but this is likely a placeholder), pre-orders for the game have now gone live and you can even splash out on a newly announced 'Mysteriful Limited Edition' for a cool $109.99. This will include a steelbook, an artbook, a 6.5" Shinigami plush, and an official soundtrack on CD. Pre-order links can be found at the bottom of the page.
Here's a reminder of the features to expect when Rain Code launches:
- A new project from the team of Danganronpa – Experience the latest lucid-noir adventure written by Kazutaka Kodaka!
- 3D Detective Adventure – Explore the neon-drenched city of rain and its stygian counterpart in a full 3D environment to the fantastic phantasmal music of Masafumi Takada.
- Eccentric Cast – Meet the unique characters of the detective agency as they face an oppressive corporate-controlled security force designed by Rui Komatsuzaki.
- Puzzles and Paradoxes – Adventure through the paths of challenging dungeons and use deductions to fight Mystery Phantoms trying to bury the truth.

If she stayed as a ghost and never turned into that anime girl pinup thingy, I would definitely buy
This is quite a cool special edition but I always wonder, who is putting down this sort of money for a new IP that they have no idea whether they will even like it or not? I will buy any Zelda Special Edition that Nintendo want to put out but that is based on decades of track record, buying something like this is taking a huge punt with your money.
@Ooccoo_Jr Yeah that's a very good point. I think with this one, it does at least have a strong pedigree behind it with the Danganronpa series; a franchise that has exploded in popularity in the west. It's like when Naughty Dog moved from Uncharted to The Last of Us; you don't necessarily know what's in store for you, but you know the new franchise is at least in good hands.
@PBandSmelly Where's it show that ghost turning into an anime girl? I maybe interested now!
everyone: oh by the makers of Danganronpa
me: oh by the makes of World's End Club
I'm interested in the game, but I don't collect plushies. Money saved for me. But I also feel bad for steelbook collectors, it's a steep price. As an aside, the collectors edition for Made in Abyss was severely disappointing.
Definitely getting the game, gonna strongly consider this edition.
@DragotheKomodo lol ain't that that truth. ROFL
But, I'm gonna give them another chance. World's End Club was a very flawed game, but it had some great aspects too. I 100%ed it and ultimately was glad I did.

I like the Naughty Dog example you gave, but you could have easily given CD Projekt Red as an example for Cyberpunk
