Spike Chunsoft has announced that it will release Shuten Order as a digital exclusive for Nintendo Switch in Europe and North America.
EXNOA (who operate DMM Games) has teamed up with Tookyo Games for their multi-genre adventure game, which is led by Danganronpa series creator Kazutaka Kodaka. Its gameplay lets you experience five different systems within a single game, such as stealth action horror and a multi-perspective visual novel.
“168 remaining until the end of the world.” Humanity approaches its end. In a world steeped in despair and chaos, a strange religious organisation called Shuten Order emerges that yearns for the end of humanity. Rapidly gaining followers, the group eventually forms a small nation-state called Shuten. Then one day, someone murders the Founder.
Following their death, the Founder is resurrected as Rei Shimobe (protagonist) through a miracle known as “the Power of God.” However, the resurrection is incomplete. Their memories are gone, and their life is limited to a mere four days.
Two self-proclaimed “angels”, God’s messengers, arrive and declare to the protagonist that to achieve true resurrection, they must overcome “God’s trial.” That challenges them to identify and kill their murderer within a high-stakes, four-day hunt for the truth.
Shuten Order will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 5 September 2025.
