A popular mystery visual novel on Steam is getting a big discount for Black Friday weekend, with fans able to save more than 90% on Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. With the holiday season kicking off, gamers are getting plenty of chances to save some money on a variety of big-name games and consoles. Everything from retail storefronts like Walmart, GameStop, and Best Buy to online marketplaces like the Xbox Store and Steam have launched their own sales, with video games typically being a popular item for many shoppers. Now, a beloved franchise is seeing some big deals as part of a new Steam sale.

First debuting in Japan in 2010 on the PSP, the Danganronpa franchise has turned into a flagship property for developer Spike Chunsoft. The games each follow a group of high-school students trapped, typically within a school environment, in a “death game,” from which they can only escape by murdering another student and not being caught. The series blends elements of the visual novel genre with courtroom-style debates and arguments, similar to the gameplay of Capcom’s Ace Attorney franchise. Danganronpa has received multiple sequels, spin-offs, and even two different anime adaptations created by Japanese studio Lerche. Fans are now getting a chance to save big on the Danganronpa games on Steam.

One of the newest sales from Steam is offering a major discount on the Danganronpa franchise for a limited time. Steam users can pick up the first game in the series, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, for a massive 94% discount during the Black Friday weekend, marked down to just $1.19 USD. The first Danganronpa game has received some impressive reviews on Steam, with the game boasting an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating through more than 15,000 reviews on the platform. Fans will need to act fast, however, with the Danganronpa sale only lasting until December 1.

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc is not the only game in the franchise to see a big markdown, with Spike Chunsoft putting the entire franchise on sale to celebrate its fifteenth anniversary. Danganronpa‘s two sequels are seeing similarly sizable discounts, with Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair marked at $3.99 while Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is set to $7.99 during the sale. The franchise’s two side games are even seeing a discount for Danganronpa‘s fifteenth birthday, with third-person shooter Ultra Despair Girls spin-off set to $4.49 and the Mario Party-like Ultimate Summer Camp at $5.99.

Why Fans Love The Danganronpa Franchise

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc serves as one of the most popular entries in the franchise, not only kicking off the series but seeing rave reviews. Danganronpa has seen particular praise for its engaging story, packed with plenty of twists, turns, and some major revelations about the in-game world during its climax. The franchise’s iconic “class trial” segments are a particularly positive element for many fans, taking a note from the Ace Attorney franchise with its focus on deductive reasoning. Danganronpa‘s graphical flair is also one of the game’s most popular elements, with Hope’s Peak Academy filled with colorful environments and flashy visuals.

Danganronpa‘s big sale for the game’s anniversary comes as Spike Chunsoft is gearing up to launch a remake of one of the series’ most popular games. The developer dropped a surprise announcement for Danganronpa 2×2 in September, serving as a remake for Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair on the Switch and Switch 2. Danganronpa 2×2 will include some brand-new story content for the visual novel adventure, created by spin-off writer Yoichiro Koizumi with supervision from Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka. Some fans have also suggested that Danganronpa 2×2‘s additional story could be hiding more under the surface, potentially acting as a sequel. Steam’s newest Black Friday sale looks to be the perfect time for fans to dive into Danganronpa with a new game on the way in 2026.
