As a big announcement? Not really. But it was teased last year and they seem to be working on it. At the end of the DR: Another Episode's trailer during the SCEJ Vita press conference in 2013 it flashed a black screen that said "and also _3"
Really nervous about DR3. I'm convinced SDR2 is so good that it'll be a pain in the ass for them to beat.

I don't think its even possible to beat the 5th chapters murder. Everyone potentially being the killer blew my mind.

Have the murders be randomized/changed by your actions and they've already got a leg up.

Ok, so, what if the villain of DR3 is Junko but actually at the same time not Junko, and by that I mean someone that Junko brainwashed into being an exact replica of her
Also there's a Togami in the main cast again somehow don't even ask he just has to be there

Ew, no.
For a big bad, I had thought of Izuru, but that option went out the window with the ending. Speaking of which, it kind of bothered me that Hajime looked no different from his virtual self in the real world.

I don't really mind Junko being the villain in the prequel novels, assuming they're taking place during the Tragedy, as I'd imagine Kyoko to be the type to challenge people like Junko readily.
I'll only really have a big problem if Junko shows up as the bad guy in a game set chronologically after SDR2.

You expected someone new but it was me, Junko!
Sadly, it's highly possible. Though I'm willing to let AE have another Junko as villain in some way as long as DR3 doesn't go that route.
Edit: Got ninja'd

The novels take place while Kirigiri is like 13. So a couple years before the Tragedy.
That last one would be delicious
with some pancakes topped with Mondo Butter
Yes, that's a DR1 spoiler. I'm only marking it since if I don't, I know someone will bitch about it.

If Junko's arm/eyeball/ovaries survived being crushed by a trash compacter I'm sure they can squeeze in a brain transplant somewhere for the 3rd game.
I'm honestly having a hard time figuring out what they're going to do with DR3. Obviously there's plot left in the FF stopping The Tragedy, but I'm not sure how they'll incorporate another killing game without it being forced.
I think I'd prefer it if they moved beyond a direct sequel, had it take place significantly after The Tragedy happened and have another person trying to start it up again or something. Probably not likely though.

It takes place when she's in middle school. When she's 13 years old.
I was going to suggest a follower of Junko's might want to recreate the killing game but it doesn't have to be long after the Tragedy. It could just be that they want to fight back the hope that the FF is giving everyone.
It's also why I thought that Nagito was Makoto up until the middle of chapter 6. Felt like the chapter 0 bit where he talks about how much he hates Junko and yet has her arm attached to him proved the point.
I'm actually kinda disappointed that wasn't the case.

While I wasn't being entirely serious with that, I can totally see Junko doing something like that at least as a form of making someone despair at the loss of their own identity
Also Hinata totally just got a haircut first thing after getting out :v
Random idea: Perhaps the Future Foundation are on their way to restoring order, and to ensure something like The Tragedy never occurs again and blinded with power, they force Remnants of Despair to terminate each other in these killing games as a message to society at large? Sounds like something Ultimate Despairs would be into, though.
That's the silly thought that came to mind. First thing Hajime did when he got out of the VR was get a haircut and find the same clothes he wore in the VR before Makoto's crew left the island.
Ahhh. Hrm. Not sure about that, in that case. If Junko is just the middle school stuck up bully, that'd be great, though.
I feel like there's a chance that we'll get a game with all of the Killing School game survivors thrown into one last killing game to try and kill off all possible threats to their agenda and finally prove a point that despair wins out over hope.
Then again, there's a certain appeal in the all-new casts of DR1 and DR2, and also it'd make me sad.
unless we get kazuichi and yasuhiro dead in a murder-suicide
Not sure, I'm going off what I've been told. Finding concrete spoilers for the Kirigiri noves is surprisingly hard.
Also, let's all be honest here: Who solved the red light puzzle in the Final Dead Room without Nagito doing it for you? I had no idea what to do with that one. The red lights were flashing in patterns that weren't even on the laptop.
Yeah, I could see it going in that direction. I'm still a bit sad that DR2 didn't reveal Ultimate Despair as being bigger than Junko, so I'm definitely in favor of a new antagonist.
I wonder what the setting will be this time! We've already done a school and an island, do you think they'll go even more open? Part of a city or something?
So, was there any in-universe reason why Chiaki was semi-narcoleptic? Why would you make a narcoleptic AI?
Honestly... I get a feeling that the Future Foundation's leadership is going to be a lot like Nagito in terms of how they approach hope as a philosophy.
The easy way to employ another killing game as part of the plot... is for it to be intended to send a message. Broadcast it to the world. Bring people to the depths of despair, and to use that despair as a stepping stone for both the group of students and the world watching to make a huge leap into a level of hope that can reignite the world on a path of hope.
To make it seem less likely she was an AI?
Well, Chihiro didn't create her for that purpose so... That doesn't really work.
I like this. We've already established Makoto and buddies (Hiro and Hina are apparently too dumb to participate) are opposed to the extreme actions of the FF, so I think it'd work. Might be a bit too similar to the reveal of 2 though.
I'd like to see a sort of well-meaning antagonist though, even if well-meaning in this context means someone like Nagito.
I sort of knew what I had to do, but it was like 1:30 in the morning and I was feeling braindead so I had Nagito do it for me anyway.

Yeah I think a sectioned of city would make sense.

Next one will be on a ship or on a plane! Actually a train would be kinda cool, lol
How about a cruise ship?
Ooh, and this time we could keep the cast tight and only have nine persons. And maybe some doors or something, I dunno.
Yeah, I was thinking along these lines. Part of a ruined city would be pretty creepy, and have lots of potential for mysteries and happenings.

That's the only way the series can evolve from babby games for babbies to a mature, adult series that adults can enjoy.
we can have such innovative and mature concepts like 'the ultimate office worker' and 'the ultimate garbage disposal man'

As long as it doesn't move onto adults cause then we would have Ultimate Drunk and Ultimate Deadbeat Father.

So you want the DR1 and 2 casts to return, gotcha.
Haven't you heard? Warehouses are in now.How about a cruise ship?
VLR Spoilers
Well, warehouses on Mars
Probably that. Bothers me a bit, but I guess it's for the happy ending. At least the rest of his crew didn't get revived.
Just some unexplained miracle. Shutting the system didn't guarantee shit, but they figured they'd just take the shot because they believed they'd get a good outcome.
And I guess it somehow worked just because...?
The red lights got me as well. I had no idea if the games puzzle was shit or if I'm just stupid.
Actually the way Makoto and the others were talking about it, I got the impression that they didn't actually know how it worked(they aren't really programmers anyway, well there's Alter Ego). They seemed to assume since graduation overwrote the host's current memory, then shutdown must revert their memory.
It actually makes more sense for them to retain their game memories(plus the Ultimate Despair memories) considering the whole point of, you know, their brains are plugged into the virtual world. I mean, that's the reason that their friends are really dead.
Edit:
In my case I had trouble with the first code because I didn't find the compass for awhile. I was completely stumped on what NEWS meant. However, the 3rd code wasn't too bad. I wrote down the patterns from the laptop, and it made perfect sense once I looked at the blinking lights and assumed the quick double blink was a reset.
