Danganronpa Creator’s The Hundred Line Game Gets a Release Date

There’s finally a release date for The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, the new game from Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka. XSEED is handling it outside of Japan, and it will launch on April 24, 2025. A limited edition will also be available for the Switch version of The Hundred Line.

To accompany The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy release date, there’s a new trailer. It is quite bloody and shows how dark the defense game can be. As a reminder, Takumi wakes up to find that 15 teenagers are now part of the Last Defense Academy Special Defense Unit. Their goal is to use their new Hemoanima powers tied to their blood to depend against enemy attacks and survive for 100 days.

Here’s the latest video:

As for the Switch limited edition, it is $99.99 compared to the typical $59.99 standard physical or digital copy. That gets you the game, an art card of each person in the Special Defense Unit, a short novel with a story based on the academy and its characters, an art book, a soundtrack CD, a pin, a lenticular art card, and a 3D acrylic standee.

This isn’t the only new game from Kazutaka Kodaka on the way, as the Danganronpa creator is also working on Tribe Nine. Pre-registrations are now open for that title. There’s no release date for it yet, however. When it does debut, that will be on PCs and mobile devices.

The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy will come to the Nintendo Switch and PC on April 24, 2025.
