Death Note: Killer Within Game Rated for PS5 in Taiwan

A new Death Note video game is on the horizon! Rated for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 by the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee, Death Note: Killer Within promises a thrilling experience for fans of the iconic manga and anime.

Bandai Namco – The Likely Publisher

Industry speculation points to Bandai Namco as the publisher, given their track record with successful anime game adaptations. While official details are scarce, the Taiwan rating suggests a formal announcement is imminent. This follows trademark registrations for the game title by Shueisha (Death Note's publisher) in several key territories earlier this year. Note that while initially listed as "Death Note: Shadow Mission" by the ratings board, the English title is confirmed as Death Note: Killer Within.

The game's listing may have been temporarily removed from the website.

A New Chapter in Death Note Gaming

While gameplay specifics remain a mystery, anticipation is high. The psychological depth of the source material suggests a suspenseful game experience. Whether it will focus on the classic Light Yagami vs. L rivalry or introduce new characters and storylines remains to be seen.

Previous Death Note games, such as Death Note: Kira Game, Death Note: Successor to L, and L the ProLogue to Death Note: Spiraling Trap, were primarily point-and-click adventures with a focus on deduction. These were largely Japan-only releases. Death Note: Killer Within has the potential to be the franchise's first major global game launch.
