A new Death Note game, tentatively titled Death Note: Killer Within, has been rated for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 by the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee, hinting at an imminent release.
Bandai Namco – A Likely Publisher
Industry speculation points to Bandai Namco as the publisher, given their history of adapting popular anime franchises into video games. While official details remain scarce, the rating suggests a formal announcement is on the horizon. This follows June's trademark registrations for the game title by Shueisha (Death Note's publisher) in key markets. While initially listed as "Death Note: Shadow Mission" by the rating board, further investigation confirmed the English title as Death Note: Killer Within. However, the listing may have since been removed from the website.
A Look at Previous Death Note Games
Plot and gameplay specifics are currently undisclosed, fueling fan anticipation. Given the source material's psychological depth, a suspenseful experience is widely expected. Whether the game will focus on the iconic Light Yagami vs. L rivalry or introduce new elements remains to be seen.
Previous Death Note games, such as Death Note: Kira Game (2007, Nintendo DS), Death Note: Successor to L, and L the ProLogue to Death Note: Spiraling Trap, were primarily point-and-click deduction games, largely confined to Japanese audiences. Death Note: Killer Within could potentially be the franchise's first major global game release.
