The Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee has rated an unannounced Death Note game for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. It is published by Bandai Namco.

The title in the rating can be directly translated from Traditional Chinese as Death Note: Shadow Mission, but it is likely the official English title will be Death Note: Killer Within, as the name was trademarked by Shueisha on June 12 in Europe and Japan, and on June 20 in the United States.

I like Death Note but I highly doubt this game will end up good…..it’s very rare to see games based on anime TV show being good.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Please be good

Serious question, what does a potentially good Death Note video game even look like?

 

[Renoir]

im guessing ace attorney style of gameplay?
it would be funny to do hadoken motion to write someone's name in the book. lol

That my question as well…..make it VN/point & click adventure game? We already know how the story gonna play out, there is no mystery to uncover.

ryuk kart?...

I'm there if it has Ocean dub option. Still not sure how you can even translate Death Note into a game. Guesses would be murder mystery or 'visual novel'.

Make it an original story in the Death Note universe and model it after games like Danganronpa. You are a detective trying to figure out who is the new Kira.

The anime is damn good.

From Bandai? Good luck.

Also it would interesting how the new person uses the Death Note, heck even might not call himself “Kira” and uses the Death Note for entire different reason.

 

[Nankatsu]

As long as we can write Hermen Hulst's name on it

I wonder if they could they do a reverse Danganronpa where you have the notebook and figure out and choose who to kill. Could fit the VN mould if it was like that, different routes and shit.

Bandai going too far with these battle arenas

 

[Icymanipulator]

Other than a visual novel style game, what could this possibly be?

Edit. I’m a huge fan of the anime and manga,
So no hate intended

 

[Deft Beck]

May as well make it a social deduction game. Late to the party, but it mirrors the old DS game.

 

[nikos]

I've always wanted to read this but some moron completely spoiled the ending in a review I happened to read while I was at the store deciding whether I should buy it.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Bandai namco is all i need to know this will be mid at best.

 

[Exentryk]

Love the anime but not sure how this can be made into a good video game. Curious for sure.

Death Note hero shooter.

My guess would be either a VN or maybe an adventure/detective game.

 

[Physiognomonics]

This could be good. Like really good. Just follow the original manga, it's already perfect...

This.

Unless they let you write the name of people from PSN and moments later they are banned, I don't know how this can be any good lol

A visual novel could work, but not for an existing story. I have no clue what they could do here.

 

[BlakeofT]

I will buy this video game... And play it!!!

 

[Danjin44]

Shinigami said he just drop Death Note and Light just happen to pick it up, he wasn’t " the chosen one" so what happens if entirely different person pick Death Note up and he has entirely different motivation and mind set compare to Light.

That would be interesting if its done right.
