Death note Might not be the first thing you think of when you consider anime video games however It seems like such an adaptation is in development for PlayStation systems. The ever-popular story of Licht Yagami and his mystical notebook capable of killing anyone and everyone has been adapted several times, but when it comes to interactive media, the offerings are slim. Aside from a handful of titles released for the Nintendo DS and mobile devices, there aren’t many options for those looking to experience Death note Through the lens of a video game.
That’s about to change though Gematsu reports that A new listing on the website of the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee suggests that a game has been titled Death Note: Killer Inside Coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Almost nothing is known about the game but it’s worth noting that publisher Shueisha originally trademarked the title on June 12. Rating board leaks are generally accurate when it comes to unannounced projects but as far as a release date is concerned, it’s hard to predict a window; If it was rated, it could be close to release, or at the very least, an announcement could be imminent.
How would a Death Note game play?
Hard to imagine it being an arena fighter
When it comes to adapting anime stories into video games, developers tend to go the route of arena fighters like Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, My Hero One’s Justice 2And One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows. While the games generally do a decent job of capturing the over-the-top battles of shonen anime, It’s hard to imagine the genre working well for Death note. A psychological thriller that relies more on suspense and wit than outright battles, an arena fighter would likely fail to capture what makes the story so captivating.
It could be seen Death Note: Killer Inside Going in the direction of a visual novel. Something similar to these Ace attorney Games that require players to investigate crimes and piece together evidence with logic puzzles would be a better fit. It remains unclear if this is the direction Killer Inn Will take but curious fans probably won’t need to wait much longer to find out.

Give players the task of keeping Light Yagami
While I’m not all that familiar with Death noteI watched it once years ago, I have to imagine that a detective-style visual novel that tasks players with finding Light before he kills again could be excellent. Whether the users take on the role of L or a new character entirely, being embroiled in a game of cat-and-mouse with someone who can kill anyone in the world would make for a fun interactive drama. Only time will tell if Killer Inn can satisfy enthusiasts who have waited many years for an accurate video game adaptation.
