The Hundred Line: -Last Defense Academy- Will Be Out on April 24

The Hundred Line: -Last Defense Academy- is the upcoming new game from the creators of Danganronpa and Zero Escape.

We talked about it when it was shown during that amazing Nintendo Direct earlier this year (alongside other amazing announcements like the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection).

It looks very Danganronpa-inspired aside from being a strategy RPG, and since I like the creators’ past games, I’ve been looking forward to it.

Today, Xseed announced that it will be out on April 24, 2025 for the Switch and PC in the west, the same date as its Japanese release.

Alongside the release date and a new trailer, they also revealed a Limited Edition for the Switch version that includes the game, a soundtrack CD, an art book, a short novel, 15 character art cards, a lenticular art card, an acrylic diorama, and a metal collector’s pin. That’s a pretty good Limited Edition, especially since it looks like it’s going to cost $99.99.

(I’m particularly interested in the short novel.)

It’s strange to have a post like this without talking about games I still need to catch up on, but I finished the last of the Danganronpa games last year as well as Rain Code! I’m all caught up on Zero Escape (and AI: The Somnium Files), too. So for once, I have no reason to not eagerly anticipate this game.

The mix of Danganronpa-like systems and strategy RPG combat has me curious about what to expect from The Hundred Line: -Last Defense Academy-. It’s definitely among the games I’m looking forward to the most next year.

Are you planning to pick it up?
