Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony[b] is a visual novel developed and published by Spike Chunsoft. The game was released in Japan in January 2017 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, and in North America and Europe by NIS America in September 2017. A Windows version was released worldwide on the same date. An enhanced version of V3 with the subtitle Anniversary Edition was released for Nintendo Switch in Japan in November 2021, and worldwide in December 2021. This improved version was also released for Android and iOS in April 2022, and for Windows 10 and Xbox One in September 2022.
The game is the third numbered Danganronpa video game. It was written by Kazutaka Kodaka and Takayuki Sugawara. The game primarily follows Kaede Akamatsu, Shuichi Saihara, and fourteen other high school students with special talents who are trapped in a killing game where the culprit must avoid suspicion from the other students or be executed. The player interacts with the other characters in the form of dating sim-like events, investigates murders, and participates in "Class Trials" to uncover the culprit. The trials feature logical puzzles as well as shooter sections. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony was a commercial success and was generally well received by critics, who praised the scenario and gameplay. However, the ending of the game was divisive.
