A major problem in Death Note Killer Within at launch was the disconnection issues, as a match in the game would end for everyone if one player quit or disconnected, but a new patch addresses and fixes that issue. Bandai Namco released the update on December 18, 2024. It also noted it will take action against people purposely quitting with the intent of ruining the match. In 2025, a new role and paid customization options will appear.
The big change is that a Death Note Killer Within match will continue if a player or players who aren’t L, Kira, or the Kira Follower Misa experiences a disconnection or would quit the game. This is because those three roles are critical to gameplay in various ways, while L’s investigators are more plentiful. So a round can continue if one or a few are missing. If one of those players is gone, their avatar will be absent, they’ll be counted among the inactive or dead players, their votes won’t be counted, and the L player can’t take their items.
As for how people who purposely disconnect in Death Note Killer Within, the company confirmed that both warnings and bans are on the table. It will be looking at reports and players to determine if and when it would be needed.
Aside from this possible fix, new content will debut in 2025. Bandai Namco shared silhouettes of the items. It noted new Premium Avatars and a new Customization Track will appear, which means new ways to look in-game. However, a new Role will also show up. The character shown’s silhouette almost looks like that of Mello’s, one of L’s potential successors that also hunts down Kira.
Death Note Killer Within is available on the PS4, PS5, and PC.
