Bandai Namco is releasing a new social deduction game Death Note Killer Within next month.
Fans are already drawing comparisons between the new game and the hit game Among Us, both games involve players on two teams trying to figure out who’s the killer, or killing the other side until they win.
Although rather than drastically outnumbering the “Detectives”, teams will be evenly matched in Death Note Killer Within. This is offset by the fact that it appears that the Killers won’t know who’s who amongst each other.
Death Note Killer Within is an online social deduction game for up to 10 players. Players will be split into two teams with different objectives. To win the game, players will need to figure out each other’s identities and either eliminate L who threatens Kira’s power or seize the Death Note. Enjoy a battle of wits as Kira and his followers, or as L and the investigators in the world of Death Note. As equally matched opponents, the two teams clash to control the game while hiding their true identities from each other. The Death Note is hidden among the players, leading to a thrilling game of cat and mouse until one team overpowers the other. Each role has its own characteristics, allowing you to master a deep sense of strategy and tactical play. Depending on your assigned role, a wide range of strategies can be formulated, and each randomized scenario develops into a high-stakes game of tactics.
Death Note Killer Within is coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on November 5. The game will launch as part of PlayStation Plus.
